Co-opted Member of Audit Committee
Recruitment of two co-opted independent members of the Audit Committee
The Council has an Audit Committee who provides an independent review of Gedling Borough Council’s governance, risk management and control frameworks and oversees the financial reporting and annual governance processes. It also oversees internal audit and external audit, helping to ensure efficient and effective assurance arrangements are in place. Currently membership of the Committee is made up of 7 members of the Borough Council and it is politically balanced.
Vacancies currently exist for 2 independent co-opted members of the committee.
Candidates should have flexibility to contribute beyond the scheduled meetings, as these might have to meet at short notice. Informal meetings often take place on Microsoft Teams so an understanding of how online meeting software works would be an advantage.
A small allowance, currently £500.00 per annum, will be paid to the independent co-opted members of the Audit Committee, but is subject to a review and may increase or decrease.
The appointment of suitable candidates will be subject to the approval of Full Council.
Full details of the role and the person specification can be found by downloading the application pack below.
Selection will be through interview conducted by an interview panel consisting of three members of the Audit Committee and the decision to appoint following recommendation by the interview panel will be made by the Council. The deadline for receipt of applications is 5pm on Friday 5 July 2024 and interviews will be held on Friday 12 July 2024.
