Corporate governance : a well-qualified and experienced audit committeeMamotheti, Sethopo Michael 15 July 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to indentify collective skills and background that audit committee members must have in order to be effective. In addition, the study examined the extent of prevalence of each skill indentified, which can then be deduced into model to work out the right combination of audit members according to qualifications, experience and skills that they posses. The model can thus be used in selecting candidates to serve in audit committees. Two categories of samples selected from a list of the top 100 companies for 2008 to 2010 and a combined list of the bottom 20 companies for the 2005 to 2009 and the bottom 20 companies for 2010, compiled by Inet Bridge and published by Business Times, were used in the study. Profiles of audit committee members of companies selected in the samples, which were published in the annual reports of the respective companies in which they were serving as audit committee members were consolidated with those published on Bloomberg Business week website, http:investing.businessweek.com/research /stocks/people/ person, and thereafter summarized. The profiles indicated qualifications, professional background, business management experience and a list of companies that each member was serving or had served as a member of board of directors. Skills categories adopted in Audit Committee Institute (2006) were used in analysing expertise, experience and background of audit committee members, namely financial, business management, corporate director, legal and industry specific background. The variables were statistically tested using t-test and chi-square. The results of the study revealed that finance, corporate director and business management were necessary for an audit committee to function effectively. The study further found that legal and industry specific background were least considered skills in the composition of audit committees. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

The role of internal auditors in the professional development of audit committee membersFerreira, Ilse 30 June 2007 (has links)
This study attempted to discover the role of internal auditors in the professional
development of audit committee members, leading to enhanced performance,
through the provision of induction programmes and professional development
opportunities to committee members, with due regard for the principles of good
governance and international best practices. A secondary aim of this study was
to propose methods to improve the relationship between the internal audit
activity and audit committees in providing additional support to its members.
The audit committee's needs and requirements were assessed by using the
audit committee charter as the basis in identifying the responsibilities of the
committee and the professional development needs of committee members in
an organisation. It was found that a framework for the induction and
professional development of audit committee members would be most useful to
internal auditors to assist audit committees to meet their requirements and
improve their performance. / Auditing / M. Com.
