Finance & Risk

The Internal Audit Policy including Internal Audit Terms of Reference and the Audit and Risk
Committee Charter Policy are part of Council’s governance framework. A key duty of the Audit
Committee is to provide assurance to Council that its core business goals and objectives are being
achieved in an efficient and economical manner, with an appropriate framework of internal control
and risk management. While the internal audit function provides Council with independent,
objective assurance and appropriate services designed to add value and improve Council’s
operations.
