About this title

Synopsis

"The Audit Committee Handbook, Fourth Edition serves as an excellent and functional road map for audit committee members, corporate board members, and practitioners operating within today's vastly changing regulatory environment . . . providing the tools for better adherence to the newly enacted, higher standards of corporate responsibility."

The classic guide to audit committee responsibilities–completely updated to cover the newest regulations

Since the publication of the Third Edition of The Audit Committee Handbook in 1999, the accounting world has been turned on its heel by the major debacles of Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and others. With major reform in the air, audit committee members need the most current information available to help them adhere to the new guidelines.

The Audit Committee Handbook, Fourth Edition fills the need for an up-to-date reference to help busy professionals perform oversight responsibilities during this time of great financial liability. This newly updated Fourth Edition features:

• Checklists and practical guidance to help audit committee members meet their responsibilities in this new era of accountability

• The latest guidance for compliance from the SEC and the major stock exchanges

• New material addressing the scandals of the past two years and their impact on audit committees

• Guidance from the IIA on how to work with internal auditors
