Finance Committee
The Finance Committee under its terms of reference must report to the Board, not less than four times in each year, whether the Chief Executive is implementing the Service Plan, as adopted by the Board, and within the expenditure limits set by the Minister. This is done by considering the monthly accounts and ad hoc reports provided to the Board by the Chief Executive. It must advise the main committee whether to accept the accounts as presented by the Chief Executive and to recommend whether they should be signed by the Chairperson. It must review and report to the Board on the draft Service Plan; and it shall make arrangements for the preparation of reports to the Board.

Audit and Risk Committee
The Audit and Risk Committee, by examining and considering internal audit reports, statutory audit reports and the confirmations of the Chief Executive, reports to the Board in accordance with the Audit and Risk Committee procedures. The committee, as early as possible in each year, and before the Finance Committee considers the annual accounts, carries out a review of internal controls for the previous year by undertaking the work outlined in the Audit and Risk Committee Terms of Reference and by reviewing the minute books of the Board, the Audit and Risk Committee and the Finance Committee and other relevant factors, to ensure there are no inconsistencies in these with the assessment of internal control provided to the Audit and Risk Committee by the internal audit unit or management representations received.
