    CLARISSA – it’s some mnemonic. I can’t remember what it’s for any more, maybe for something to do with risk, maybe something to do with qualities good information should have.
    I have definately heard it in OT videos about risk, so perhaps you could try and find it there.

    P-43 of opentution Course Notes 2011-is about ROLE and Functions of an audit committee. They are stated there as follows:
    . create a climate of discipline and control… C
    . lend an air of credibility and objectivity…… L
    . assist CFO by providing a forum A
    . review financial statements to improve the quality of… R
    . independent judgement I
    . strengthen position of the internal auditor S
    . strengthen position of the external auditor S
    . assist in the resolution of disputes……………… A

    I think “CLARISSA” reflects just to those function for ease of remember.

    and Clarissa’s family name is “Whistle-Blower” ie the audit committee acts as an ear for the whistle-blowers in the company / group
