Corporate Governance Framework

Our corporate governance framework sets out the necessary responsibilities and procedures that guarantee we operate properly.

9 - Rights

9.1. The Board of Commissioners (the Board) has delegated the following powers to the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC):

  • investigate any activity within its terms of reference. Any investigation will normally be initiated in consultation with the Accounting Officer
  • require the appearance of any Commissioner or employee before the ARC and/or seek any information it may require from any Commissioner or employee
  • all members and employees must co-operate with the Committee. It will be normal practice to channel such requests through the Accounting Officer
  • procure legal or other professional advice, subject to budgetary provision agreed in advance by the Accounting Officer and the Board, and to secure the attendance at Committee meetings of anyone it considers has relevant experience, expertise or knowledge, including the National Audit Office or Government Internal Audit Agency
  • oversight of the performance and risk management arrangements of projects or programmes where a Senior Responsible Officer has been appointed.
