Objective

An education with impact

Welcome to the Masterclass on Board Audit Committee Excellence, a specialized training tailored for members and aspiring members of audit committees in the diverse landscape of the financial sector.

An audit committee is a sub-group of the board of directors responsible for the oversight of the financial reporting and disclosure process. In a financial institution, this implies that the members of the committee are technically competent and possess good insights on the policies and processes of the institution, its key internal controls, compliance and financial risks and policies.

In this dynamic and comprehensive masterclass, you will embark on a journey to gain profound insights into the intricate roles and responsibilities of an audit committee.  Designed to address the evolving challenges and complexities of audit management, this masterclass goes beyond theoretical concepts. It delves into the practical aspects of committee composition, interaction with key stakeholders, and the crucial intersection of audit, regulations, and strategic decision-making.

During this masterclass we will guide you through engaging discussions, case studies, and interactive sessions. Together, we will explore the critical competencies required for effective committee membership, foster collaboration with other committees, and navigate the intricate regulatory environment.  Whether you are a current member seeking to enhance your skills or a future member aspiring to contribute to robust audit management practices, this masterclass offers a unique opportunity to learn, network, and gain valuable insights from industry leaders.

By the end of the masterclass, you will be able to:

  • understand and apply crucial competencies within the audit committee;
  • foster collaboration with other committees for integrated audit management;
  • communicate effectively with the Board of Directors and contribute to strategic decision-making;
  • navigate the regulatory landscape and fulfil compliance obligations;
