The Audit Committee oversees an ongoing programme for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the University's system of internal control. It is responsible for meeting with the internal and external auditors, and reviews and discusses reports issued. The auditors have access to the Committee for independent discussion.

The Committee also receives and considers reports to and from the Office for Students (OfS) as they affect the University's business, and monitors adherence to relevant regulatory requirements.

Terms of Reference for Audit Committee can be found in the University Regulations (at 9.16) on this page.
