New email went out to subscribers today: “Audit & Governance Weekly Financial News Roundup, 15th May 2020”. Check it out http://eepurl.com/g3FaUv

 

Please find your weekly financial services news roundup specifically tailored for Internal Audit, Risk, Regulatory and Governance professionals.

This week ….. Audit committee sued (it’s not FS but very interesting list of material and financial weaknesses you would not expect of a publicly traded company – Internal Auditors take note!), US banking fines and Westpac ML saga continues. Now earnings season has ended, CRISL released their latest IB report (I do like their reports – well worth checking the others if you have time), IB revenue is up whilst IB headcount is lowest in 6 years. 

Enjoy!
