Risk, Audit and Governance Committee

The Risk, Audit and Governance Committee (formerly the Audit and Risk Committee) ensures that financial planning risk is managed effectively, and has the following responsibilities:

To scrutinise the Authority's accounts and finances to ensure that they are prepared in accordance with accounting policies and good practice.
To take a strategic view on whether the resources allocated to the Authority are used effectively and efficiently in pursuit of its authorised purposes and objectives.
To obtain assurances from a range of measures and reports that value for money is obtained in the use of these resources, and that risk and performance are actively managed to achieve best results.
To have general oversight of the Authority's governance arrangements including dealing with members' concerns regarding governance issues at the Authority.

The committee was re-purposed as the Risk, Audit and Governance Committee in 2023 to reflect revised terms of reference.
