The Audit and Risk Management Committee
provides independent assurance to the members and other parties of
the adequacy of the risk management framework and the internal
control environment. It provides independent review of Fenland
District Council’s governance, risk management and control
frameworks and oversees the financial reporting and annual
governance processes. It oversees internal audit and external
audit, helping to ensure efficient and effective assurance
arrangements are in place. It also ensures the Council is managing
the risk of ensuring services have the resources to deliver on the
Council’s statutory responsibilities and corporate priorities
whilst recognising the Council’s financial
position.
