This initiative, launched by Sir Donald Brydon, seeks to ensure that audits remain "relevant and fit for the 21st century." Find out how the Brydon recommendations will be taken forward, the ramifications for China-based businesses, and what the changes could mean for regulators, legislators, academics and business leaders.
