Its chaired by Jerry O’Keeffe. He isn’t a councillor or an employee, but an independent member of the public.
He says: “Councils are complex organisations which affect us all. Effective auditing is essential to ensure controls are strong enough to protect the council from error, fraud and waste.
“We also make sure managers respond to audits and put into place all the improvements that have been agreed.”
Come to the meeting
The meetings are open to the public, so why not go along if you get the chance?
