Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is a sub-committee of the Council. It monitors and reviews the University's financial and other internal control systems, including the work of the internal audit unit, to ensure compliance with the mandatory requirements of the HEFCW Audit Code of Practice.

The committee advises Council on whether the University's systems and procedures promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness, and safeguard the University's assets and prevent and detect fraud or other irregularities. The Audit Committee is chaired by Michael Hampson.

It submits the Annual Report to Council and the Annual Assurance Report.
