MFDF's next webinar in the Series Trust Funds series is designed specifically for audit committee directors and independent trustees overseeing series trust fund complexes. The session provides a practical, board‑level perspective on the audit process, emphasizing the issues most critical to audit committee oversight, fiduciary responsibility, and evolving regulatory expectations.
Featuring insights from experienced audit and fund governance professionals—including John Braun, Partner at Cohen & Co.; Mike Beattie, Managing Director and President at Advisors’ Inner Circle Funds; and Jay Nadel, Independent Director at Advisors’ Inner Circle Funds—the program will explore how auditors approach multi‑series trust structures and the key judgment areas that frequently arise during audits.

- How auditors assess risk across multiple series and shared service arrangements
- Key areas of judgment, estimates, and expense allocation methodologies
