Audit Committee
As the business and regulatory environment becomes more complex, the asks of the Corporate Boards from their Audit Committees seem to increase manifold. Whether the Audit Committee member is a newly appointed director or a seasoned member of the Boardroom, there are many considerations to keep in mind.
Self-assessment tools help Audit Committee members understand the requirements, identify responsibilities and assess the present status vis-a-vis regulations and good practices; thus helping them discharge their roles effectively.

This tool is a worksheet that enlists the key responsibilities of the Audit Committee allowing members to determine the frequency of review of each of the items on the basis of criticality/regulatory requirement. Thus, determining whether or not a particular issue is to form part of a particular meeting agenda.
