Independent Audit Committee Members

Greater London Authority

Independent Audit Committee Members – Ref 1358

Remuneration: £12,000 per annum

Locations: London
 

The Greater London Authority (GLA) is London’s strategic, city-wide governing body. Unlike borough councils, the GLA does not deliver most local services directly; instead, it provides leadership and long term vision for the capital across a range of areas, whilst representing the interests of Londoners and shaping the capital’s economic, social and environmental future.

The GLA brings together two core political components: The Mayor of London, who acts as the executive leader, responsible for setting London wide strategies and making key decisions, and the London Assembly, which is made up of 25 elected members, and holds the Mayor of London to account by scrutinising strategies, decisions, policies and the budget.

In advance of statutory requirements, introduced through the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026, the Mayor of London is now establishing a new Audit Committee. The Committee will play a central role in strengthening governance, financial oversight, risk management, internal control, audit assurance and value for money across the GLA, whilst providing assurance to the Mayor of London.

The GLA are seeking to appoint two Independent Members of the Audit Committee. As a Member of the Audit Committee, you will be responsible for providing robust challenge and assurance within one of the UK’s most visible public bodies. You will support the Chair of Audit Committee in shaping a strong culture of accountability, transparency and continuous improvement. Applications are welcomed from experienced Board Members from a range of professional backgrounds, including:

• Financial Management

• Audit

• Risk Management

• Housing development and regeneration

• Technology and Cyber Security

Closing date: no later than 23.59 on 23 October 2026
