The Audit Panel contributes to good governance at
the GLA. It is concerned with ensuring the security and
monitoring of financial systems, ensuring that there is anti-fraud
culture at the GLA and promoting probity and good practice
within the core GLA. It liaises with the external auditors
over their annual programme and with the Mayor, as appropriate to
approve the annual internal audit programme. It deals as
appropriate with matters arising from external and internal audit
reports and letters, and reviews the GLA's Corporate Risk Register
and Risk Management Policy. It also considers reports on
expenses incurred by elected Members and senior officers and gifts
and hospitality received by elected Members and senior
officers.
