ACI/NACD Audit Committee Member Survey (2006-2007)
In our annual Audit Committee Institute (ACI) / National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) survey, audit committee members from across the country share their views on key audit committee issues—including oversight priorities and practices, overall effectiveness, and opportunities for improvement. Key survey findings are highlighted in a 20-page publication (supplemented by observations and survey results from other recent audit committee forums to help provide further insight into the trends and priorities shaping audit committee practices in the U.S.) For a copy of the survey publication, contact your local KPMG office or the ACI at 1-877-KPMG-ACI or auditcommittee@kpmg.com.
KPMG's Tax Department Survey 2006
KPMG's Global Tax Transformation Services (GTTS) practice has released its 2006 Tax Department Survey. According to the survey results, U.S. tax professionals in 2006, finding themselves burdened by the demands of a highly compliance-oriented environment, may not be spending sufficient time on tax planning and other activities that they believe are most desired by their leadership and of most value to their organizations.
KPMG's Integrity Survey
2005-2006
KPMG's Integrity Survey 2005-2006 takes a behind-the-scenes look
at corporate fraud and misconduct in the post-Sarbanes-Oxley era.
It is based on the perceptions of more than 4,000 employees nationwide
and includes benchmarking with KPMG’s Integrity Survey 2000.
Key findings include:
- Level of misconduct remains unchanged
- Conditions facilitating Management’s ability to prevent,
detect, and respond to fraud and misconduct have improved since
2000
- Companies with comprehensive ethics and compliance programs
reported more favorable results across the board than those companies
without such programs
KPMG's Fraud Survey 2003
KPMG’s Fraud Survey 2003 provides a detailed examination of
fraud, new anti-fraud measures, and how organizations will manage
this pervasive problem in the future. Over 450 U.S. business executives
and government officials were interviewed to help determine how
organizations are confronting fraud in the post-Sarbanes-Oxley era.
The results produced several interesting insights; in particular,
these organizations are reporting more experiences of fraud than
in prior years, are taking corrective actions, and plan to continue
to take anti-fraud measures.
