Two members are Civil Servants and therefore are not in receipt of a fee in respect their duties on the Audit Committee. A fee of up to €1,800 per annum, inclusive of related PAYE and PRSI, has been approved for the external members of Civil Service Audit Committees. This fee is not being availed of by all the external members on my Departments Audit Committee.
The members of my Department's Audit Committee have a suitable mix of relevant expertise, skills and qualifications including audit, financial, business, Information Communication Technology and Civil Service related qualifications.
