The Board Fit program

Led by the KPMG Board Leadership Center, the purpose of Board Fit is to help business leaders become outstanding board members.  Highly customizable, Board Fit has been delivered to organizations by invitation in various ways including keynote addresses, featured panels, table discussions, and networking events designed to help build a foundation for participants who are interested in directorship opportunities as well as for novice corporate directors looking to strengthen their skills. In addition, the Board Leadership Center’s Senior Advisors are available to speak individually and to groups on topics of interest to aspiring board members.

For more information on the program, contact the KPMG Board Leadership Center.

In-boardroom briefings

The Board Leadership Center is available to provide general and customized in-boardroom briefings for boards and audit committees on a range of topics from general challenges and priorities shaping board and audit committee agendas to tailored presentations focused on specific issues the board/audit committee may be wrestling with—such as strategy and risk, cybersecurity, investor activism and shareholder engagement, corporate responsibility, and more.

Audit Committee Peer Exchanges

The Audit Committee Institute (ACI) hosts audit committee peer exchanges in several cities across the country.  These small-group sessions—typically 10-12 participants—foster high-quality, candid discussions on issues and challenges that are top of mind for the attendee and their boards.  KPMG’s professionals facilitate the session, but the agenda is shaped and driven by the directors.

If you are interested in participating in a peer exchange in your area, please contact the Audit Committee Institute.
