Who Attends the Issues Conference?
The invitation-only conference is designed exclusively for audit
committee members. It attracts directors from around the country
who serve on (or chair) the audit committees of companies in every
major industry.
Candid, Panel-Driven Discussion
The conference facilitates open discussion—driven largely
by a panel of seasoned audit committee members, CFOs, auditors,
and attorneys—of the near- and long-term challenges facing
audit committees and their members in carrying out their oversight
responsibilities. Past discussion topics have included:
- Agenda-setting and issue prioritization
- Critical accounting judgments and estimates
- Risk management
- Internal controls
- Communications and relationships with management, auditors,
and others
- Internal investigations
- Legal developments
Using on-site survey technology, we poll participants on key issues
and share real-time results of prevailing views and practices.
Panelists
Our carefully selected panels comprise seasoned audit committee
members (and chairs), C-level executives, auditors, and attorneys—all
with in-depth knowledge of financial reporting and corporate governance
issues.
