Audit Committee and Board Member Readiness Program

The Audit Committee and Board Member Readiness Program provided finance leaders and directors with practical insights into serving effectively on audit committees of public and private companies. Participants learned how audit committee expectations have evolved, including responsibilities for financial oversight, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance, engagement with auditors and management, and crisis response related to cyber, fraud, and whistleblower matters.

Through expert instruction and discussions with sitting public-company audit committee chairs, participants gained a clear understanding of the audit committee’s role, emerging challenges, and proven approaches to managing complex issues. The program strengthened participants’ readiness to contribute immediately at the board table and to step into audit committee leadership roles, including Audit Committee Chair.

This event was held at the Mintz offices in downtown Boston on May 19, 2026.
