South Hams Audit and Governance Committee

The South Hams Audit and Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the council's financial reporting, internal controls, and risk management processes. It reviews and approves the annual statements of accounts, agrees the internal audit work plan, and monitors the effectiveness of risk management and anti-fraud arrangements.

The committee scrutinises management's actions and judgements related to financial statements, including accounting policies and unusual transactions. It also monitors the council's arrangements for promoting high standards of conduct among councillors and reviews reports on treasury management and the counter-fraud strategy.
