Auditor Selection: What Questions Should Boards Raise?

Auditors are not just technical checkers — they are key players in building public trust. They protect directors, support investors with reliable information, and now, under EU regulations, their scope is expanding to cover areas such as sustainability and AI.

Organized by ecoDa and Forvis Mazars Group on October 20th, this webinar will cover key considerations when boards are faced with the need to review their audit arrangements: 

• When and according to which process do board members – the audit committee – select the auditor(s) of the company? 
• What are the criteria for selection? 
• Do board members really have a choice?

A distinguished panel of speakers, including David Herbinet (Chairman of the Assurance and Audit WG at Accountancy Europe), Alina Prahoveanu (Chair of Audit Committee, National Company of Romanian Post), and Anne-Hélène Monsellato (Independent board member, will provide practical insights into how audit committees are approaching the selection process, particularly in smaller markets where specific challenges can arise. 

The panellists will discuss the key questions board members need to consider, including the content of the transparency report, audit quality indicators, handling potential conflicts of interest and the business models of audit firms. 

This one-hour event is designed for board members, audit committee chairs, and governance professionals seeking clarity on auditor selection in a changing regulatory landscape.
