Audit Committee
About our audit committee
Our Audit Committee supports our Chief Executive, so they can carry out their formal accountability responsibilities. It gives advice and makes sure we have the best risk, control and governance processes in place.
The committee is made up of three of our commissioners. There is also an independent advisor. Our Chief Executive and Director of Finance and Corporate Services also attend the meetings, as well as representatives from the National Audit Office and our internal auditors.
We publish the minutes of these meetings so that you can understand more about what we do.
