Directors’ Responsibilities Statement
Risk, Audit & Governance Sub-committee
The Risk, Audit & Governance sub-committee monitors all operational risk performance of the organisation. It liaises with the organisation’s auditors. It reviews the Association’s Risk Register at each meeting. This committee also oversees Board renewal and reviews all board policies prior to consideration by the Board. The committee meets 4 times a year.
