Sub-Committee Member, Finance Audit and Risk

Amnesty International UK:

Amnesty International UK operates in the UK as two distinct legal entities: Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘the Charitable Trust’), and Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘the UK Section’). Each entity is governed by its own Board with the two working together and co-operating but remaining independent. Each Board operates and makes decisions based on the long-term interests of their respective entity and within the constraints imposed by applicable UK law, their separate constitutions and the overall rules of the global Amnesty International movement.

Finance, Audit and Risk Sub-Committee (FARSC):

The FARSC is a joint sub-committee of the boards of both the Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘Section’) and the Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘Trust’).

The purpose of the FARSC are:

• To oversee the internal and external audit processes,
• To oversee the processes related to risk management and internal control including financial, reputational, compliance and other strategic and operational risks and controls,
• To oversee financial reporting. FARSC advises, and reports to, the Boards of Section and Trust.
