Committees

Audit Committee

The primary role of the Audit Committee is to ensure the integrity of financial reporting and the audit process by ensuring that the external auditor is independent and objective and does a thorough job, and by fostering a culture and an expectation of effective oversight.

The Audit Committee meets at least three times a year. The meetings are also attended by representatives of the Group’s external auditors and such of the Executive Directors as are appropriate to the items under discussion.

The Chairman of the Audit Committee is currently Mrs S J Pirie.
