**Background**

Woollahra Council is committed to open and transparent governance that satisfies community expectations and best practice standards.

As part of the overall governance framework, Council’s Audit, Risk & Improvement Committee (ARIC) plays an important role in strengthening risk management and corporate governance practices within Council. This is in line with the current Office of Local Government (OLG) guidelines on Audit, Risk & Improvement Committees.

Through this Expression of Interest (EOI) process, Council is seeking to appoint persons with appropriate skills for the role of an Independent Chair and Independent Member of the Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee.

**Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee (ARIC)**

The objective of Council’s ARIC is to enhance the Council’s existing governance framework, risk management practices, control, strategy and performance environment, by providing independent assurance, oversight and assistance to the Council on key aspects of its operations.

ARIC’s role is to review aspects of Council’s operation and provide advice and guidance to Council for the purpose of improving the performance of its functions.

The approach the Committee adopts, in its interaction with senior management, will have a direct bearing on the effectiveness of the Committee. It is the responsibility of the Committee to promote a positive culture of continuous improvement to ensure its effectiveness.

The membership of the Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee is currently comprised of three independent members (including one who is the Chair) and Councillor representation.

Council will generally seek to ensure a rotational expiry of terms for Committee members.
