It does not attempt to replicate in full the arrangements specified in each of the CCGs Terms of Reference for the Audit Committees of the CCGs. Rather, it is intended as a description of how the meetings in common will normally operate. The corporate management team will advise Audit Committee Chairs should specific circumstances require other arrangements not captured in this document by referring to individual CCG terms of reference.
Terms of Reference for each of the Audit Committees are appended to this document. These terms of reference for individual Audit Committees will need to be amended to include additional responsibilities not currently included and to change the title of the Committee to the Audit, Governance and Risk Committee.
