Audit Committee

The purpose of an Audit Committee is to provide independent assurance of the adequacy of the risk management framework and the associated control environment, independent scrutiny of the authority’s financial and non financial performance to the extent that it affects the authority’s exposure to risk and weakens the control environment, and to oversee the financial reporting process. The rules of governance for the Audit Committee are set out in the Council’s Constitution: http://www.carlisle.gov.ukhttp://www.carlisle.gov.uk/Council/Council-and-Democracy/Constitution
