The Audit Committee

Barnsley Council is responsible for ensuring that its business is conducted in accordance with the law and proper standards, and that public money is safeguarded and properly accounted for.

Key to this is the Council's Audit Committee. The Committee is made up of 5 Councillors and 3 independent members. It is responsible for providing independent assurance to the Council regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control framework, which covers risk and performance management.

The Audit Committee receives regular reports from Internal Audit on issues arising from its work together with reviews of risk management and general governance issues.

The Committee also agrees the Annual Assurance Statement for recommendation to full Council, as well as monitoring the implementation of improvements or developments arising from the review process.
