Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance (BICG) and Lithuanian Internal Auditors Association (IIA Lithuania) invite Baltics board and audit committee members and internal auditors to join the October 5, 2021 seminar on how to engage in a more effective dialogue between board members and internal auditors.

During this seminar we will discuss:

» How well are internal auditors meeting the expectations of the audit committees and the boards? And are internal auditors receiving the proper support and oversight from the audit committees and the boards?

» Can we better coordinate the work and reporting of all control functions in the company? Don’t auditors have an integrating role to play among the company controllers?

These and other topics will be presented by:
