What are the main challenges an Audit Committee Chair faces when ensuring effective oversight of financial reporting and compliance?

One of the primary challenges for an Audit Committee Chair is balancing the need for thorough oversight with the ability to foster open communication among management, auditors, and committee members. The role requires staying updated on evolving regulatory requirements and accounting standards, which can be complex and time-consuming. Additionally, the Chair must ensure the independence and effectiveness of both internal and external auditors, while also navigating potential conflicts of interest. Building consensus within the committee and maintaining a strong ethical culture are essential for effective governance and risk management.

What are Audit Committee Chairs?

An Audit Committee Chair is a senior member of a company's board of directors who leads the audit committee, which oversees financial reporting, risk management, and internal controls. This individual is responsible for ensuring the integrity of financial statements, liaising with external auditors, and guiding the committee in monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Chair works closely with management and auditors to address any issues that arise and reports findings to the full board, playing a critical role in maintaining transparency and accountability within the organization.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Audit Committee Chair, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Audit Committee Chair, you need deep expertise in accounting, finance, and corporate governance, usually supported by a CPA or similar professional designation and significant board experience. Familiarity with financial reporting frameworks, internal control systems, and audit software is essential for overseeing compliance and risk management. Strong leadership, analytical thinking, and effective communication are critical to facilitate discussions and build consensus among committee members. These skills ensure the committee can provide effective oversight, enhance transparency, and protect the organization's integrity.

Job description

Internal Audit Manager
Department: Internal Audit
Reports To: Chief Credit and Risk Officer (CCRO) (Administrative) / Supervisory Committee Chair (Functional)
Formed in 1934, Telhio began as a credit union for Columbus Telephone Company (now AT amp;T) employees. Telhio now serves over 70,000 member-owners throughout central and southwest Ohio. As one of the largest credit unions in Ohio, Telhio is a strong financial institution that continues to serve its members through extraordinary service, innovative financial solutions and community involvement. After generations of service and growth, we never lose focus of our three core values - Caring, Commitment, and Integrity.
Summary:
The Internal Audit Manager leads the credit union’s Internal Audit program, leveraging both internal resources and an external audit provider to deliver a comprehensive, risk‑based audit plan. This role is responsible for enhancing, managing, and maturing the Internal Audit function—developing the audit universe and risk assessment, creating and maintaining Internal Audit methodology and quality practices, coordinating and monitoring audit execution, and reporting results to the Supervisory Committee and executive leadership.

  • Present the annual plan to the Supervisory Committee for approval and conduct mid‑year refreshes as appropriate.
3. Execution of Select Internal Audits
  • Perform select internal audits (as capacity and risk dictate), including planning, limited fieldwork/testing, documentation, and reporting, in accordance with IIA Standards.
  • Conduct targeted reviews in areas such as (examples):
    • Operational processes
    • Consumer compliance (as appropriate)
    • Payments and branch operations
    • Governance, risk management, and internal control frameworks
  • Identify control gaps, evaluate root causes, and recommend actionable improvements; coordinate management responses and due dates for tracked issues.
4. Oversight of Outsourced Audit Work
  • Review and challenge external providers’ audit scopes, methodologies, and timelines.
  • Evaluate the accuracy, completeness, and quality of outsourced audit reports.
  • Ensure outsourced audits are delivered on time, within budget, and in accordance with IIA Standards.
  • Maintain independence by ensuring no conflicts of interest with third‑party providers.
5. Audit Reporting amp; Communication
  • Prepare clear, concise audit reports summarizing findings, risks, and recommendations for management and the Supervisory Committee.
  • Deliver quarterly Internal Audit updates to the Supervisory Committee, including:
    • Status of the audit plan
    • Significant findings
    • Issue aging
    • Emerging risk themes
  • Support executive sessions between external auditors and the Supervisory Committee.
6. Issue Management amp; Validation
  • Partner with the Risk Team to track management action plans for all internal and external audit findings.
  • Verify that remediation is complete, evidence is adequate, and sustainable improvements are in place.
  • Coordinate with the outsourced audit provider for independent validation of completed actions.
7. Regulatory Exam Support
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for regulators (NCUA, state agencies) regarding internal audit matters.
  • Provide requested reports, documentation, and evidence of issue remediation.
  • Implement enhancements resulting from exam recommendations.
8. Internal Audit Governance amp; Quality Assurance
  • Establish and maintain the Internal Audit universe, risk assessment methodology, and annual planning cadence appropriate for a growing credit union.
  • Develop, document, and maintain Internal Audit methodology (e.g., audit programs, workpaper standards, report format/rating taxonomy, sampling and testing guidance) and ensure consistent application across internal and third‑party resources.
  • Implement and maintain tools and routines to manage the audit lifecycle (plan tracking, workpaper retention, issue tracking, and reporting metrics such as plan completion, issue aging, and remediation effectiveness).
  • Maintain and annually update the Internal Audit Charter.
  • Ensure the Internal Audit function operates in alignment with IIA Standards and current best practices.
  • Coordinate periodic external quality assessments as required (typically every 5 years).
