KPMG Audit Committee Institute

KPMG established a worldwide network to provide resources and the opportunity for interaction for audit committees. The goal - to encourage better efficiency and effectiveness of audit committees and the corporate reporting process.

Each year, audit committee chairs and members are invited to join sessions where they make presentations and discuss issues. Reports on the proceedings and summary reports on the major issues are issued.

The reports for Winter 2011 from the Canadian Institute can be downloaded from its website. It contains results of surveys on the effectiveness of risk management as well as other timely issues. Well worth monitoring.
