Addressing Hedge Fund Audit Risk: Insights from KPMG

As part of our Risk Outlook series – don’t miss our 6th and final installment next Thursday, 10/20 – we spoke with Gary Berger, Partner and head of the Emerging Manager Program at KPMG, to discuss hedge fund audit risk. In our 30-minute webinar we were able to gain insight on:

• The barriers to enter the hedge fund space and what new managers typically underestimate

• Common hedge fund audit mistakes (e.g. lack of disclosure, violations of the governing body and slow turnaround to audit recommendations)

• How auditors view third party risk and considerations for taking on a third party provider

• What keeps hedge fund managers up at night in 2016

• How liquidations and launches are affecting the emerging manager marketplace

• What investors need to think about in terms of valuation including valuation committees, managers and best practices
