Ask the Expert: Has COVID-19 Impacted Corporate Auditing Requirements?
Public companies, small and large, are accountable to many – from their shareholders to the government. And with accountability comes transparency and the need to explain your strategy and your operations – in words and in numbers – to investors, partners, employees and even customers to build and maintain credibility. At the core of this accountability is the company’s audit committee of the board of directors. It’s imperative for this committee to consider – and control for – all potential risk factors such as cybersecurity threats among many others.
As Zebra board member and audit committee member, Ross Manire, explains in our latest Your Edge podcast episode, there are many new threats to organizations’ stability these days, most of which have been amplified by the pandemic and all of which are leading to increased vigilance. Ross talks about why it’s an exciting time to be at Zebra given how the company helps enterprises drive automation and digitalization as the pandemic is driving a shift in companies’ use of technology, especially in addressing key trends in e-commerce, omnichannel and more.
