The College's Audit Committee was established by the Board in October 1998 to advise on how College is managing key financial and operational risks, to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and to appraise value for money issues. The Committee is also responsible for:

• preparing policy proposals in audit related areas;
  
• advising on compliance with relevant legislation and regulations;
• and monitoring implementation of Board decisions arising from Audit Committee recommendations.

The Audit Committee is supported in its work by the College's Internal Audit function which is an independent, internal appraisal function to service the requirements of the Audit Committee and does not have direct dealings with the public. The Internal Audit Office reports to the College's Audit Committee on professional matters and is attached to the Secretary's Office for administrative purposes.
