Focusing primarily on publicly held companies, but with chapters on nonprofit and public sector entities, two certified public accountants detail the operations and responsibilities of audit committees. Not expecting a cover-to-cover read of the guide, except possibly from the neophyte, the authors have designed it as a reference source. Chapters cover historical and legal developments, understanding financial statements, audit committee responsibilities, oversight of internal control, relationships to internal and external auditors, audit committee meetings, termination of external auditors, audit committee evaluation, and legal liabilities of audit committees and members.

This text focuses on the history, responsibilities, and operation of publicly held companies. It offers information on materiality, internal control, fraud and illegal acts, and the independence requirements for auditors. As well, the work emphasizes the importance of audit committee performance and covers less discussed subjects, including terminating an external auditor. This book is written for members of boards of directors, as well as those on audit committees, chief executive and financial officers, legal counsels, auditors, and consultants to audit committees. This third edition offers a new chapter summarizing requirements that affect audit committees, a revised chapter on the oversight of internal control, sample excerpts from annual reports, and revised appendices.
