Audit Committee , Risk Committee Best Practices and Good Governance Director Training

Audit committees have long since recognised that effective corporate governance is the cornerstone of shareholder protection. The building blocks of an effective audit committee, from an effective agenda and committee structure to a keen awareness of current and emerging issues, are fundamental in fulfilling the audit committees responsibilities.

 It is to this end that this established the Audit Committee and  Risk Committee, which aims to assist members to be effective in their roles on audit committees and risk committees through gaining  knowledge from the presenters and  sharing knowledge with their peers, disseminating relevant information and focussing on key performance areas, thereby contributing to the effective governance and sustainability of their organisations and enhancing the economic environment of their countries.

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) auditor accreditation model, under its amended Listings Requirements (LR), imposes additional obligations on audit committees in relation to the appointment of auditors of listed entities with effect from 15 October 2017 (the implementation date).
