About

The Governance and Audit Committee oversees the Council's corporate governance arrangements, the work of internal auditors and the Council's response to external audit and other external inspections and approves the annual Statement of Accounts.  The Committee also supports the Council in the promotion and maintenance of high standards of conduct.   (Please note that members of the public are welcome to attend Governance and Audit Committee meetings although they may be asked to leave for certain confidential items.  Limited space will be available and members of the public or press wishing to attend in person are strongly advised to register in advance by emailingcommittees@knowsley.gov.uk or telephoning (0151) 443 2679.  The earliest you may register is following the publication of the agenda for the relevant meeting.  Attendees will be required to show photographic identification (which must be an official, original document) and will be subject to security checks including a bag check and body scan (i.e. with a handheld scanning device).  Full information on the Council’s Policy Statement Regarding Behaviour and Conduct (which includes further detail of the Council’s Security Procedure at section 4) may be viewed here.  Please note that meetings will also be livestreamed via the following link: Home - Knowsley Council Webcasting (public-i.tv).)
