Audit committee members read a great many papers and have limited time, so a pack that buries the decision on the last page wastes the meeting. This ten-slide deck starts with the audit status and puts findings, controls, risks, whistleblowing and actions in a set order, with the resolutions tied to specific slides. Each slide has a short source line, so the committee can check where a figure came from.

The sample is for the fictional Rookwood Capital, with ten open findings, 22 controls tested of which three failed, and two high-rated items due to close in April. Replace the figures, owners and resolutions with your own, match each decision to a numbered resolution, and add a source line that says where each number came from.
