Independent Chair – General Purposes and Audit Committee
This role is renumerated




This is an integral role as we lead Croydon through its renewal plan – we require a candidate who is an experienced finance professional preferably from within local government or health. You will Chair the General Purposes Audit Committee and ensure we are asking the right questions and working closely with our external auditor. You will work closely with our improvement assessment panel to embed the change and financial rigour that Croydon needs to move forward. This role will work the Chief Finance Officer (S151) and the Chief Internal Auditor to plan an effective work programme for the Committee. You will report to Council when necessary to give assurances about the Council’s financial statements, risk management and internal control mechanisms or to raise concerns of any significant weakness.
