On the 2020 healthcare audit committee agenda

Prioritizing a heavy healthcare audit and compliance committee (audit committee) agenda is never easy, and 2020 will be particularly challenging. The audit committee is operating against a backdrop of changing demand, changing demographics, digitization and disruption, as well as changing revenue models. Healthcare is once again on the political agenda for the 2020 election cycle.

• Oversee risks associated with digital technologies and transformation and cloud controls.
• Modernize the back office
