The Finance and Audit Committee monitors how the Trust spends the public money it is allocated by the nation.  It makes sure that:

• spending has been for the purpose intended and there is probity in the use of public funds;
• spending decisions represent value for money, and are justified as such;
• internal delegation levels exist and are applied within the trust;
• a competitive tendering policy is in place and applied, and appropriate thresholds are observed;
• relevant professional advice is obtained where appropriate, including that of the external auditor where necessary.
