AN independent person is being sought to serve on Wychavon District Council's new Audit Committee.

The committee is made up of five councillors plus a sixth non-voting independent member.

It meets about six times per year and is responsible for internal control, risk management and financial reporting at the council.

The group considers all internal and external audit reports, efficiency and value for money and makes recommendations as appropriate.

Vic Allison, Deputy Managing Director at the council, said: “This is an exciting and rare opportunity for the right individual. We are looking for someone with a connection to the area of Wychavon and who has relevant financial or audit experience.”

The chosen application will receive a small allowance and related expenses.

For further information, contact Vic Allison on vic.allison@wychavon.gov.uk or 01386 565586 before Friday, August 8.
