Public Safety Portfolio Audit and Risk Committee The Public Safety Portfolio Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) has been established under, and operates in accordance with, the terms of its charter that was developed in line with Queensland Treasury’s Audit Committee Guidelines: Improving Accountability and Performance; the Financial and Performance Management Standard 2009 and the Financial Accountability Act 2009. The charter is reviewed annually by the committee to ensure it remains consistent with the committee’s authority, objectives and responsibilities. The ARC has primary responsibility for audit and risk matters as they related to the PSBA and the Office of the IGEM. The committee provides relevant information to the stand alone ARC’s established by QFES and QPS when required and has, over the past twelve months, taken on more of an oversight role in regard to public safety audit matters that relate to the public safety agencies (QFES, Office of the IGEM, PSBA and QPS). The committee is chaired by an independent expert. Each public safety agency is represented by one member. A second external member also forms part of the committee. The Chair may invite or give approval for other persons to attend a committee meeting. The committee meets quarterly and met on five occasions during 2017-18. The fifth meeting was a special meeting held in July 2017 to close outstanding PSBA audit recommendations. The independent external Chair received $9,622.75 (including GST) in remuneration for services provided in 2017-18. The second external member received $4,812.50 (including GST). There were no other costs. Committee Members Graham Carpenter, Chair (external member) Ian Stewart APM, Commissioner, QPS represented by Tracy Linford APM, Deputy Commissioner, Strategy, Policy and Performance, QPS Katarina Carroll APM, Commissioner, QFES represented by Doug Smith APM, Deputy Commissioner, Chief Strategy Officer, Strategy and Corporate Services, QFES Iain MacKenzie AFSM, Inspector-General Emergency Management Peter Griffin, Chief Operating Officer, PSBA Marita Corbett (external member)
