Join us online to explore the non-financial skills that contribute to strong audit and risk committee performance.
Audit and risk committees are evolving in response to a broader and more complex risk environment. Alongside financial literacy, boards are expected to bring a wider mix of skills, perspectives and experience to support effective oversight.
In this webinar, Judene Edgar, IoD Principal Advisor – Governance Leadership and Bruce Robertson, experienced Audit and Risk director will explore the non-financial skills that contribute to strong audit and risk committee performance. You will gain practical insights into how committees can strengthen their capability and respond to emerging governance expectations.
Join fellow members of the Audit and Risk Shared Interest Group for a focused discussion, with the opportunity to ask questions and hear different perspectives.
