Directors Quarterly: July 2021

In this edition of Directors Quarterly, KPMG U.S. Chief Economist Constance Hunter delves into a question currently being discussed in many boardroom: Are today’s higher prices transitory or here to stay? We also offer considerations for boards and audit committees on refining their oversight of cybersecurity and data governance, takeaways from our roundtable on workforce well-being, and a financial reporting and auditing update for audit committees that includes the latest in special purpose acquisition companies and ESG-related developments. Finally, Dambisa Moyo—author, economist, and veteran board director—shares her views on the increasing demands facing boards and how directors should innovate to respond.
