Under the PGPA Act, Tourism Australia is required to have an Audit and Finance Committee. The Committee provides independent assurance and assistance to the Board on risk, performance, internal control and financial reporting responsibilities. The Committee is also responsible for advising the Board on legislative compliance, and on internal and external audit programs. A copy of Tourism Australia’s Audit and Finance Committee charter is available here: https://www.tourism.australia.com/content/dam/assets/document/1/7/3/n/i/2010942.pdf

During 2019/20, four Audit and Finance Committee meetings were held. The Committee has three members – Anna Guillan AM, Jeff Ellison and David Seargeant. Table 20 provides a summary of directors’ attendance at Audit and Finance Committee meetings in 2019/20.
