The economic crisis has triggered a drastic increase in market volatility which greatly limits the ability to forecast companies' development over the coming years and presents an additional challenge to the audit committees of boards of directors. This takes on special significance as they try to strike a balance between the strategy and business model on the one hand and, on the other, the financial risks associated with them. KPMG's Audit Committee Institute is a top-notch platform that focuses on providing board members an opportunity to exchange experiences on hot topics that fall within audit committees' area of responsibility.
We would thus like to encourage you to take a short moment and complete the Online Survey conducted by the University of Maastricht below.
The survey deals with important questions regarding the external audit, in particular the election of the auditor, the monitoring of the auditor's work as well as the work of the auditors that directly relates to the Audit Committee's information needs.

The Swiss Code of Best Practice assigns a crucially important role to board committees. Three non-executive committees are specified, one of which is the audit committee.
