      Contributing to the regulatory debate

      Audit committees have an important voice in the regulatory debate. We provide a ‘light-touch’ framework for discussing those regulatory developments and consultations of particular importance to audit committees – ideally with the relevant regulatory body.

      We aim to provide regulators and policy makers with a high-quality summary of the debate and an indication of the ‘strength of feeling’ attached to key issues.
