The 5th ICSA Scotland Conference was held in Edinburgh on 10
June this year. Our aim is always to focus the theme of our
conference on topics of relevance to company secretaries in the
wider business community. This year we chose Risk and Culture.
Our first speaker, Tim Copnell, founder of KPMG's UK Audit
Committee Institute opened the event with a message on the
importance for good management of the audit process. He spoke
about managing audit tendering and ensuring that accurate and
complete disclosure of risks affecting the company is made in the
annual report. He also looked at issues and concerns affecting the
audit committee, from its core responsibilities through to
suggestions for improving effectiveness.
