The role of the audit committee is changing from both internal and external forces. In order for the audit committee to maximize their effectiveness, they need to remain nimble and able to change as quickly as those internal and external forces are changing. Participants in this session should be able to: (1) describe the qualities and characteristics that make highly effective audit committees, and (2) describe changes that would cause a good audit committee to become great.
