Why it works

Built so the audit committee meeting ends on time, with everyone in it.

  • Updates stay short

    35 minutes of updates with a visible clock. In a video call the speaker is spotlighted and the room is muted, so nobody talks over them.

  • Discussion with a clock

    70 minutes of open floor with a countdown everyone can see, and a talk-balance meter so the loudest voice doesn't take all of it.

  • A vote the whole room sees

    One tap each on a phone, live bars on the screen. A tick shows who has voted, never what they chose.

  • Wraps up on time

    Decisions and actions are read back, the summary is already written, and a finish on time earns the confetti.

How to run it

  1. 1Let the chair set the agenda rather than management.
  2. 2Send highlighted materials that focus on what has changed instead of long packs, and expect members to prepare.
  3. 3Use a consent agenda for routine matters to free time for judgements, risk and controls.
  4. 4Hold a private session with the auditors without executives present, and an in-camera session with management.
  5. 5Close with legal and compliance updates and the report to the board.
