Appointment of Independent Person to Audit Committee
To receive a verbal update on the appointment of an Independent Person to the Audit Committee.
Minutes:
The Deputy Chief Executive advised the Committee that the previous Independent Person had been unable to continue in the role. A former applicant had been interviewed but had not completed the requested assessment process. As the anticipated engagement from this candidate had not been forthcoming it was planned to go out to open recruitment.
Members expressed a desire to have a new Independent Lay Person in place by the next meeting. The remuneration for this role would be discussed by the Independent Remuneration Panel.
The Committee resolved to note the verbal update.
