Introduction to Audit
This webinar is aimed at new Board Members as part of their introduction programme, plus anyone looking to learn more about audit, including staff.
The session will consider the general role of ‘audit’ and consider the two main functions that Boards come across – internal and external audit. The session will look at their key roles and responsibilities, especially the major differences between them. Delegates will learn how to get the most out of both functions and there will a general discussion at the end to take questions from delegates if they have any issues regarding their auditors.
Introduction to Audit Committees
With the Regulator’s focus on Board assurance in relation to risk and control, the Audit Committee has become an increasingly key aspect of governance within Associations. This session will review the main role and responsibilities for the Audit Committee, how it fits within the governance framework and what its key outputs are. The session will also provide some personal insights from an experienced Audit Committee chair regarding issues such as the membership of Audit Committees, their remit and the Committee’s role in the regulation of the organisation.
