Audit Committee

Although not mandatory, it is good practice for local councils to have an audit committee. An effective audit committee needs to be independent from the council's cabinet and scrutiny functions.

North Lincolnshire's Audit Committee was establised in May 2006 and will meet approximately four times a year to address council business relating to:

  • Internal audit, risk management, anti fraud, theft and corruption
  • Assurance statements, especially internal controls
  • External audit and inspection reports
  • Value for money arrangements
  • Enhancing good governance
  • Reviewing and approving the council's final accounts and
  • Providing members with appropriate training to specialise in these areas

Our Audit Committee has five members (three labour and two conservative). The chair is not a member of the council's cabinet.

If you require more information please contact Richard Mell, Principal Democratic Services Officer on 01724 296231 or by email at richard.mell@northlincs.gov.uk.
