- Agreeing the audit timetable with management and the appointed auditors;
- Reviewing the work of the independent auditor;
- Reviewing the financial statements and recommending their adoption to the Board; and
- Advising the Board on IFAC's governance and financial control arrangements.
In addition, the Audit Committee considers and advises the Board on requests from member bodies regarding financial contribution hardships.
