The AAB meets quarterly and the Chair may convene additional meetings as they deem necessary. Meetings are typically held in March, June, September and December. A minimum of two members, one of whom must be an independent member, must be present for a meeting to be deemed quorate. Meetings are always chaired by an independent member.
AAB meetings are normally attended by the Clerk/Chief Executive, the Head of Financial Resources, the Financial Controller, the SPCB’s External Auditor (currently Audit Scotland as appointed by the Auditor General for Scotland) and the Head of Internal Audit. Other members of the Leadership Group attend from time to time to assist the AAB in its considerations.
