2021 Nonprofit Audit Committee Bootcamp
Free Live Webinar Series
Join audit experts Ken Cerini, Matthew Burke, and Tania Quigley for our informative live webinar series!
We are revisiting our Audit Committee Bootcamp, a three-part webinar series designed to help audit committee members effectively understand and fulfill their many roles and responsibilities. It’s clear to us that this subject matter still needs more attention, as many audit committees are not operating in compliance with New York State legal regulations, others are not structured in the best possible way, and most are not fully aware of the complexity of their functions. Our upcoming webinars will provide an overview of audit committees’ typical tasks, with a special focus on working with external auditors, internal auditors, and risk management.
If there’s ever any insight or advice we can provide to your non-profit organization, board, committees, or management, please reach out to any of our non-profit experts. We’re here to help.
