Event Details

This interactive workshop is a structured capstone experience and the final learning component of the Audit Committee Certificate. It will be facilitated in a live virtual environment by Canadian leaders in audit, with their expertise guiding you and fellow program participants through a series of applied learning activities.

Group work is focused on tackling case studies on topics such as:

• oversight of the financial reporting process
• how to build and maintain effective management relationships
• the role of audit committees in alleged fraud investigations
• other emerging areas of impact for public companies

The workshop will be offered in a half-day format. The next session takes place in January 2024 with a maximum of 25 participants. The deadline to register for this session is January 12, 2024. Stay tuned for additional dates!
