Overview
Annotation The 2007-2009 global financial crises have eroded the public confidence in corporate governance and the financial reporting process. Policymakers, regulators and the business community have responded by taking proper initiatives to prevent further occurrences of financial crises. Restoring the public confidence requires a significant coordinated effort, regulatory measures and best practices by policymakers, regulators, business organizations and the accounting profession. One of the key provisions of these regulatory reforms, which seek to restore public confidence, is that a properly constituted and functioning audit committee can improve the quality of financial reporting by acting as an effective arbitrator in management and auditor disputes. Thus, this book addresses the audit committee attributes as an integral part of corporate governance to improve quality, reliability, and transparency of financial reports and credibility and effectiveness of the related audit functions. This book presents the roles, responsibilities, structure, composition, qualification, authority, resources and other attributes of the audit committee in accordance with the most recent regulatory requirements and best practices.
