The Results Are In — 2015 Audit Fee Survey

The Financial Executives Research Foundation found that public company audit fees increased 3.4 percent in the last fiscal year, and those with material weaknesses saw twice the increase as those without.

As the pressure to increase audit fees continues, 45 percent of companies decreased their audit fees—many of them for several years in a row. What’s their secret?

Join an esteemed panel of industry experts for this webinar as they discuss the findings of the report, including current trends in audit fees, questions inspired by these findings, and how companies are reducing audit fees. Joe Howell, Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Workiva, will host special guests:
