The current membership of my Department's Audit Committee comprises: Mr. Sean Dorgan, Chief Executive, IDA Ireland (Chair); Ms Marie Cross, Assistant Secretary, Department of Foreign Affairs; Mr. Brian McDonnell, Former CEO, Irish Aviation Authority; Mr. Joe Timbs, Principal Officer, Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism. The Internal Auditor of my Department acts as Secretary to the Committee.

The Audit Committee, which was established in 2004, works closely with the Secretary General of my Department, and my Department's Internal Audit Unit, agreeing audit programmes year on year. They generally meet on a number of occasions each year, to review these audit programmes, examine reports completed, and to appraise progress made on integrating risk management into the Department's business processes.
