Key Terms

audit committee financial

"Gonzalez, who currently serves on RedCloud’s Audit Committee, will transition..."

A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.

external auditor financial

"Prior to her time at Banco Monex, Gonzalex was an external auditor at Deloitte."

An external auditor is an independent, third-party professional who reviews a company’s financial records and reports to confirm they are accurate and follow the rules. Like a home inspector checking a house before you buy, an external auditor gives investors assurance that the numbers reflect reality, which affects trust, the perceived risk of the company, and therefore investment decisions and value.
