Scott Steffens moved from Seattle to Lisbon and in the depths of the worldwide recession decided it would be a good idea to open a craft brewery in a city with no craft beer to speak of. Turns out, his instinct was right and Dois Corvos is one of the top craft beer breweries in Europe. Scott and Brent talk about those early days and some of the great beers they've made along the way including one flavored with Lisbon's famous custard tart, the Pastel de Nata!

July 30, 2022, marks the 20th anniversary of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, one of the most consequential pieces of federal financial regulation ever enacted into law. It serves as the foundation for many of the guidelines and principles that are now considered routine by boards and their audit, compensation and finance committees. It's difficult to overstate the continuing impact of Sarbanes on corporate governance. Thus, given the passage of time there is value in board members refreshing their familiarity with the Sarbanes history, in order to better appreciate its influence.   To help underscore the Sarbanes legacy, Michael Peregrine welcomes back Scott Steffens, well-known audit partner in Grant Thornton's national nonprofit and educational practice. In their conversation, Scott and Michael review the circumstances that led to Sarbanes's enactment, and how auditor, management and audit committee interactions have changed over the last 20 years, particularly in the nonprofit and healthcare sectors, including: - The role and function of the Audit Committee - The continuing importance of independent directors in Committee membership - The frequency and length of Audit Committee meetings - Rotation of the lead audit partner - Preserving auditor independence - Internal consideration of issues raised in “Management Letter” - Related party disclosures

When it comes to preventing corporate scandals, regulators typically look to the board as the first line of defense. This is especially the case in the nonprofit sector, where there is no market factor to provide additional oversight and protection. It is in this context that the board’s audit committee provides particular value. Amongst its many roles is the general expectation that it will monitor the potential for financial irregularity and be attentive to the warning signs of fraud, malfeasance or gross mismanagement. And, in the nonprofit sector, we have several recent examples where state and federal regulators are probing prominent charities based on allegations of financial impropriety and conflicted business transactions. To help us consider this unique role of the Audit Committee, and how it relates to these recent scandals, Michael Peregrine welcomes Scott Steffens and Dianne Wasieleski of Grant Thornton.
