ICDM Board Audit Committee Dialogue & Networking Session

Raising the Bar: Strengthening Board Audit Committee Oversight


In today’s complex governance environment, the Board Audit Committee (BAC) is central to safeguarding audit quality, integrity, and stakeholder confidence. BACs must continue to strengthen their capabilities to ensure robust governance, transparency, and sustainable organisational resilience. The Securities Commission Malaysia’s Audit Oversight Board’s inspection findings and observations underscore the need for sharper oversight, stronger challenge, and vigilance against red flags.  

This dialogue is designed to equip BAC members with a deeper understanding of:

  • Key insights from the AOB and their implications for board oversight.
  • Critical red flags that demand BAC attention to safeguard audit integrity.
  • Actionable steps to enhance committee effectiveness and strengthen trust in financial reporting.
