An Audit Risk and Improvement Committee (ARIC) plays an important role in strengthening risk management and corporate governance within organisations.
The Ballina Shire Council ARIC Committee reviews and provides independent advice to Council on how it is managing risk, whether the internal controls to manage risk are working and whether the Council is functioning effectively.
Ballina Shire Council is currently seeking three new independent members who are suitably qualified.
The ARIC meets at least four times a year and a set fee is paid to the independent members for preparation and attendance at each meeting. Attendance can be in person at the Ballina Shire Council Chambers or by audio-visual link. The committee consists of three independent members, one of whom is the Chair, and two councillors as non-voting members.
The operations of the ARIC are consistent with guidelines developed by the NSW Office of Local Government (OLG).
To be considered for this Committee you will need to:
- Demonstrate experience in financial literacy or
- Demonstrate experience in planning, legal compliance, audit and/or risk management, or
- Have relevant experience on similar committees and/or in managerial or governance roles.
All interested persons can complete the online application form by 4.30pm Wednesday 16 March 2022 available at ballina.nsw.gov.au/ExhibitionDocuments
