About

The Audit and Governance Committee is a non-executive body responsible for overseeing Newham Council's corporate governance, risk management, and internal control frameworks. It provides independent assurance to councillors on the adequacy of these arrangements and scrutinises financial reporting and audit processes.

The committee reviews the council's ethical framework, annual governance statements, and value for money arrangements. It monitors risk management, internal controls, and counter-fraud strategies, and approves key policies related to whistleblowing and treasury management. It also oversees the work of both internal and external auditors, ensuring their independence and effectiveness, and reviews the annual statements of accounts.
