Strategic Framework
The Board has three Sub-Committees:
- Audit Sub-Committee: Supports the Board in ensuring the EAUC’s financial integrity and risk management. This includes monitoring internal controls, ensuring we're compliant with relevant legislation such as UK Subsidy Control and Charity Commission regulations, and ensuring responsiveness to audit findings. The Sub-Committee also manages the relationship with external auditors and ensures the effectiveness of the audit process.
- People & Performance Sub-Committee: Advises on staff and board development, including remuneration policies, succession planning, and Board composition. The Sub-Committee ensures the EAUC attracts and retains skilled staff and oversees executive recruitment and Board member nominations.
- Income Generation & Organisational Development Sub-Committee: Focuses on enhancing the EAUC’s income streams and organisational resilience. The Sub-Committee reviews current income generation activities, explores new opportunities aligned with the EAUC’s mission, and ensures compliance with the organisation’s charitable objectives.
