The Audit Department was established in May 1975 to take over from the Finance Department the role of the internal Audit Branch. The department was responsible to an Audit Committee of the National Coal Board which was also formed in 1975. The committee was chaired by the board's chairman and comprised the board's deputy chairman, three full-time and four part-time board members. The main responsibilities of the Audit Department were to help management to improve results, help to ensure maximum revenue is obtained and report on compliance with board policy, the proper performance of standing instructions and statutory regulations. Under a Director-General of Audit who headed the department, there were a Director of Audit (Accounting), a Director of Audit (Technical) and five Audit Managers, representing Northern, Yorkshire, Midlands, Western and Southern audit centres. |
