KPMG / NACD Quarterly Audit Committee Webcast Series

This quarterly webcast series provides updates and insights into issues affecting Audit Committee and board oversight -- from key accounting and regulatory changes to developments in risk oversight.

Connecting geopolitics, markets, and strategy

Original webcast date: Thursday, September 27, 2018

Webcast overview

Understanding the intersection of politics and markets is essential as geopolitics, political uncertainty, and the pullback on globalization continue to fray and test relationships and markets around the world.

This quarter, Eurasia Group’s Ian Bremmer will delve into the hot spots and bright spots impacting corporate strategies in the months ahead—tariffs and other trade-related tensions, Brexit, U.S. unilateralism, cyber security and the emerging “tech cold war,” and more.

This 60-minute Webcast will also provide updates and insights on key financial reporting developments impacting audit committee and board oversight, as well as legal/regulatory developments impacting corporate governance.
