KPMG’s updated edition of its instructive “Audit Committee Guide” provides information for audit committees and their advisors - including management, internal audit, corporate secretaries, and outside counsel practitioners and consultants working with audit committees - on regulatory requirements, leading practices and trends, and core committee roles and responsibilities, and practical guidance on how to best discharge them. Although aimed primarily at NYSE- or Nasdaq-listed public companies, the firm notes that the publication can also serve as a resource for private companies, non-US companies, and nonprofits. The Appendix includes a sample audit committee charter, annual calendar of activities/meeting planner, and committee self-evaluation form.
