FCDO Non-Executive Director with responsibility as Audit and Risk Assurance Committee Chair
24 hours ago
The FCDO is actively seeking to appoint a new Non-Executive Director (NED) with specific responsibility as chair of the department’s Audit and Risk Committee (ARAC). This person will be a significant contributor to both the operational and strategic leadership of the Department. Their primary objective is to bring independent advice, support and challenge to help shape delivery of the Foreign Secretary’s ambitions for the Department, including through their position as ARAC chair. A separate campaign is being run in parallel to recruit other NEDs for the FCDO, including a new lead NED. The successful candidate for the role of NED with responsibility as ARAC chair will be a member of this wider NED team and work with them closely, but this role is being advertised separately due to the specialist expertise involved.
Key responsibilities will be:
- Chair, attend, and prepare for the ARAC, which meets five times a year. This should be in line with the requirements of the ARAC chair as set out in Annex A of the Audit and Risk Assurance Committee Handbook.
- Chair and/or attend additional meetings as necessary, to support assurance of the Annual Report and Accounts and to participate in cross-government internal audit forums.
- Support the Board and Accounting Officers in their responsibilities for risk control and governance.
- Provide annual reports to the Supervisory Board and Accounting Officers summarising the work done by the Committee over the year.
- Support the Foreign Secretary to examine and challenge the operational delivery of policy proposals, major projects and programmes, strategic and organisational issues.
- Work with the Permanent Under-Secretaries, Directors General and senior leaders to scrutinise the Department’s management information, to ensure that performance and delivery of the Department’s key objectives are ambitious and achievable.
- Bring an independent perspective to the work of the FCDO Board (usually held at FCDO’s headquarters in central London), as well as providing independent scrutiny for the Department upon request.
- Uphold the standards of conduct set out in the Committee on Standards in Public Life’s Seven Principles of Public Life and adhere to the Code of Conduct for board members of public bodies.
