EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST - INDEPENDENT MEMBER OF AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

Published on Friday, 7 June 2024 at 1:43:34 PM

The Shire of Goomalling is a local government situated approximately one hundred and forty-four kilometers east of the Perth CBD.

The main office (Council) is located in Goomalling Town proper. The Shire has approximately 681 electors who are represented by Council under four electoral wards. Council comprises the President and six elected members who collectively represent the electorate. Council meetings are held monthly. The Local Government Act 1995 requires all local governments to have an audit committee. The Shire committee is titled the Audit and Risk Committee to reflect its terms of
reference.

There are also a number of internal and external committees, which are not required under legislation but support, the functions of Council. The scope and meeting dates for these committees are determined through their respective terms of reference.

The Audit and Risk Committee currently comprises all seven elected Council members. Council has resolved to seek Expressions of Interest from interested persons to be appointed as an an independent member of the Audit and Risk Committee, which will take the total number of committee members to eight.

Having at least one external member on the audit committee has been a long-established practice in other states, and local governments in Western Australia have been increasingly moving in that direction over the past five years or so. External members are appointed for a period of two years, in line with the normal terms of office for Council.
