The Joint Independent Audit Committee (JIAC) consisted of five paid members in 2023-24 (although one resigned during the year, leaving four at the year-end). The committee is a key component of our corporate governance.
The purpose of the Committee is to provide independent advice and assurance to the PCC and the Chief Constable on the adequacy of the governance and risk management arrangements, internal controls and financial reporting, treasury management, internal and external audit, thereby helping to ensure efficient and effective procedures and practices are in place.
