Audit Committee

The Audit Committee advises the Executive on the council's strategic processes for risk, control, and governance, including the Statement on Internal Control. It reviews accounting policies, annual accounts, and the outcomes of internal and external audits, ensuring management adequately addresses identified issues.

The committee oversees risk management across the organisation, including risk appetite, tolerance, and the review of significant risks. It also scrutinises the Treasury Management Strategy and anti-fraud arrangements and activities.
