Board meetings and committees

As well as the board meetings we have established an Audit and Risk Committee and a Remuneration and People Performance Committee.

Audit & Risk Committee

The Audit & Risk Committee (ARC) is a Committee of the Board, created to support the board in their responsibilities for issues of risk, control and governance and associated assurance by:

• Reviewing the comprehensiveness of assurances in meeting the Board’s and the Accounting Officer’s assurance needs.
• Reviewing the reliability and integrity of these assurances.
• Providing an opinion on how well the Board and Accounting Officer are supported in decision making and in discharging their accountability obligations, particularly in respect of financial reporting.

The responsibilities of the ARC cover both VisitBritain and VisitEngland.

The members are William Burton (BTA Board Member) who is the chair, Peter Gowers (BTA Board Member), Nick de Bois CBE (Chairman of the British Tourist Authority), Nigel Wilkinson MBE (VE Advisory Board Member), Lady Victoria Borwick (Chair of VE Advisory Board) and Tim Hurdle (Independent External Member).
