As we move forward in 2022, governance roles are expanding and becoming more essential as enterprise risks and expectations for reporting transparency increase amidst the COVID-19 pandemic’s lingering impacts. As those charged with governance, audit committees are responsible to enhance audit quality, corporate governance practices, and financial reporting accuracy to improve the public’s faith and confidence in its corporate leaders.

This Conference examines the latest themes and developments affecting the performance and outcomes of Audit Committees, including the rising environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda, evolving corporate governance practices and stakeholder relationships, rising shareholder activism and a push for public accountability through appropriate sustainability and ESG disclosures.
