Now in its seventh year of publication, the Audit Committee Transparency Barometer, released by the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ), continues to provide investors with unique insight into the disclosures made by audit committees in proxy statements each year since 2014. Compiled and published in partnership with Audit Analytics, the Barometer measures the year-over-year comparison of disclosures for S&P 500, S&P mid-cap and S&P small-cap companies in certain key areas.

In this article, Audit Analytics examines the Barometer’s continuous upward trends among S&P 500 companies over a seven-year period.
