BDO Seidman's program designed to assist audit committees, boards and financial executives in keeping current on the latest corporate governance and financial reporting developments.
In this spirit, BDO Seidman is updating a practical guide to forming and running an effective audit committee, in which we provide answers to certain frequently asked questions centering on the WHYs, WHOs, WHATs, WHENs and HOWs. More specifically, these FAQs summarize common functions and responsibilities of audit committees and seek to provide insights and perspective as to how to optimize audit committee effectiveness in this ever-changing marketplace. Our vision has been shaped by our own experiences with our clients and interpretations of specific recommendations, guidelines, and rules of the SEC, stock exchanges, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). BDO Seidman's Effective Audit Committees in the Ever Changing Market Place will be posted shortly.
