We’re marking over 20 years
of the Audit Committee Institute (ACI)

The Audit Committee Institute (ACI) was created over 20 years ago to help non-executive directors keep up to date with corporate reporting, risk and governance issues. In 2017, the Board Leadership Centre (BLC) was formed covering an all-board remit and the ACI now sits within the BLC.

On these pages, you can uncover the story of our programme, how the BLC has grown over time, and the key milestones that have influenced our journey.

Chair of the BLC, Tim Copnell shares his perspective on the programme and how it has evolved to support non-executives and boards.
