East Herts Council is looking to recruit two local people, unaffiliated to political groups and with no connection with the council, to sit as independent members on our Audit and Governance Committee.

The Audit and Governance Committee plays a key role in the council’s arrangements to support good governance. It has the specific role of monitoring the budget, approving the council’s Statement of Accounts and acting as the council’s audit committee. The committee also carries out the monitoring of the council’s treasury management functions. The committee meets approximately four times a year, with meetings held in person in the Council Chamber at East Herts Council’s Wallfields Offices in Hertford, starting at 7pm.

This is a role which carries public responsibility. You should be a person with experience working in an organisation at a senior level or have other similar experience. Financial management (accountancy, audit or management of a large budget) would be advantageous. You will be appointed for a four-year term and the role may be extended for a further six months to align with the municipal year.
