Governance and Audit Committee

Quorum: Quarter of the membership Governance and Audit Committee ensures that the authority operates within its remit and makes certain that sufficient checks are in place to identify any potential misconduct.  It approves the internal audit strategy plan and performance and also reviews internal audit reports and the effectiveness of the authority’s risk management arrangements. To ensure transparency and independence in the process, the committee consists of six elected members and three lay members – who are not members of the Council.
