Joint Chair Of Audit, Risk & Improvement Committee Coonamble And Gilgandra Councils

Coonamble and Gilgandra Councils (the Councils) each have established an Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee (ARIC). The Councils intend to appoint the same person as Chair for both ARICS.

They are therefore seeking, through this joint process, expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced individuals for appointment to Joint Chair of both Council’s Audit, Risk and Improvement Committees. Please note, the eligibility criteria has changed with the Chair no longer required to be Pre-qualified under the NSW Government Prequalification Scheme.

The Objective of the Audit, Risk and Improvement Committees is to provide independent assurance and assistance on risk management, the control framework, legislative compliance, internal audit and external accountability responsibilities as detailed in the Local Government Act 1993 (s428A).

The appointment will be for an initial period of two years with an additional one-year appointment subject to a satisfactory performance assessment of their contribution to the Audit Committees.

Please see Audit Risk and Improvement Committee Information Pack 2022 for further details, available from either Coonamble or Gilgandra Shire Council’s websites.
