The board’s audit committee is critical to a bank’s corporate governance, overseeing internal and external audit, risk and financial reporting, among other duties. Audit committee members don’t necessarily have to be financial professionals, but they should have working knowledge of their industry and a willingness to ask hard questions of management. In this video, Forvis Mazars partner Ashley Ensley gives a brief overview of the audit committee’s duties and what it takes to perform that role.
Topics discussed include:
- Financial Reporting Oversight
- Internal and External Audit Duties
- Serving on the Audit Committee
