Audit Committee Institute Roundtables

Audit Committee Institute Roundtables, sponsored by KPMG, are held twice each year—these interactive forums are designed to help audit committee members to exchange ideas and insights on performing their roles effectively.

Spring 2010 Roundtables — June 2010


Addressing 2010's Challenges – Overseeing Tax Risk and Financial Reporting under IFRS


Many countries have been changing their tax laws in ways that treat tax as a corporate governance and social responsibility issue. The 2010 federal budget suggests that Canada is likely following suit. How are audit committees managing to effectively oversee tax risk without being daunted by its complexity?

The changeover to IFRS is quickly approaching—adding complexity to many areas that audit committees oversee. What areas are warranting close attention through 2010, and how are audit committees addressing them?

Our next series of roundtables will help audit committee members and other directors to share their ideas and approaches for addressing these challenges.

Please join us—share your audit committee's approach, questions and possible solutions with other audit committee members and directors.
