KPMG Beyond

To enhance your BLC membership, we’re pleased to provide you with an opportunity to be part of KPMG’s client connectivity platform, KPMG Beyond.

As well as providing access to a BLC-specific community containing thought leadership, interesting content and opinions, the Beyond platform will be hosting additional events that may complement your BLC experience. There are also a number of other communities that may be of help to you in the various roles that our BLC members typically undertake.

Peer-to-peer exchanges

Our well established “Conversation with…” series comprises regular supported conversations featuring the speakers you want to hear, talking about the subjects that are important to you.

Previous speakers have included Mark Malloch-Brown on Geopolitics; former special assistant to President George W Bush, Dr Pippa Malmgren; and TUC Director General, Frances O’Grady.

Resources, tools and a website to help you

Our website hosts an extensive range of publications, which encompass everything from a concise but comprehensive Handbook aimed specifically at improving audit committee effectiveness; to short technical updates in timely response to regulatory developments.

Induction – hitting the ground running

For any new director, learning curve comes with the territory. Just how steep that learning curve is can hinge directly on the quality of the induction programme. Our BLC programme can assist you to induct new members to your committee by providing guidance and resources to help new board members hit the ground running together with bespoke one-to-one sessions with KPMG specialists.

KPMG Connect on Board

KPMG Connect on Board is our online platform to help aspiring and experienced non-executive directors connect with organisations seeking to build better boards. KPMG Connect on Board enables you to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your experience and articulate your career ambitions, in your own words. You’ll also find guidance and resources from the many organisations that support the platform, as well as gaining exposure to over 24 leading executive search firms who use the platform to search for non-executive candidates.

A global network – directors without borders

Our Board Leadership Centre and Audit Committee Institute have a presence in over 40 countries around the world. Taking advantage of developments in virtual meeting technologies, this year we began to facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges with overseas peers on global topics.

Fortnightly bulletin

Working hand in glove with our website and LinkedIn page, our fortnightly bulletin brings together the latest thought leadership, updates, and board tools – whether that be BLC authored, board ready material from our KPMG network or curated third party collateral.

Contributing to the regulatory debate

Audit committees have an important voice in the regulatory debate. We provide a ‘light-touch’ framework for discussing those regulatory developments and consultations of particular importance to audit committees – ideally with the relevant regulatory body. We aim to provide regulators and policy makers with a high-quality summary of the debate and an indication of the ‘strength of feeling’ attached to key issues.

Senior Business Women's Network

The Senior Business Women’s Network is a community of C-Suite Executives and Non-Executive Leaders, who convene in-person and online to foster connections across industries, and to explore current challenges and trends facing business.
