About

The Audit and Standards Committee oversees the council's governance, risk management, and internal controls to ensure effectiveness and value for money. It reviews financial reporting, internal and external audit reports, and promotes high standards of conduct for councillors and officers. The committee handles complaints about breaches of the Members' Code of Conduct and employee codes, and can recommend actions such as formal censure or removal from committees for members found to have failed to comply. It also advises on codes of conduct and grants dispensations for declarations of interest.
