KPMG’S Audit Committee Institute

KPMG LLP is a U.S. professional services firm offering audit and advisory and tax services. Since 1999, KPMG has sponsored the Audit Committee Institute (ACI), which is a resource for audit committees and senior management. ACI’s primary mission is to communicate with audit committee members and those who interact with them to enhance their awareness of, commitment to, and ability to implement effective audit committee processes. Our programs have allowed us to meet directly with thousands of directors and officers. ACI’s initiatives include semiannual roundtables, numerous publications and surveys, conference and board presentations, our highly regarded Web site (www.kpmg.com/aci), and Audit Committee Insights (www.kpmginsights.com), our online publication.
