The Forum with the theme ‘Innovating the Audit to drive quality and Value’, which holds May 15, 2019, in Lagos will provide a unique opportunity for experts in financial sector to unpack the many issues around the Code of Corporate governance and the role of the Audit Committee.
According to Anthony Oputa, head, financial Services, EY West Africa, the Audit Committee parley is specifically put together to deliberate on the alignment of audit committee agenda with bank’s priority areas, present compliance matters as well as new reporting standards, among other pressing issues bordering on audit.

Continuing, Anthony says: “In our journey to build a better working world, we are continually innovating to support Audit committee members to carry out their governance role to better meet the evolving demands of business, regulators and investors’.
