Abstract:
The audit committee performs a pivotal role in making the right environment for quality auditing. It is the audit committee's obligation to breed an environment that encompasses an open dialogue in a culture of honesty, regard and transparency amongst management and auditors. The prime purpose of an audit committee is to provide oversight of the financial reporting process, the audit process, the system of internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations. Audit committees will consider internal controls and review their effectiveness. Since 1940, the SEC has acknowledged that an audit committee can serve a significant, and eventually essential, role in guaranteeing that a publically listed corporation financial reporting is correct. In the 1970s, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) obligated boards of directors of these listed firms to employ an audit committee. Then in the late 1980s, (Nasdaq) the National Association of Securities Dealers and (AMEX) American Stock Exchange afterward employed the audit committees. Today, innumerable practices and rules command the composition, roles, and duties of audit committees. After the Enron’s collapse, audit committee affiliates duties are enhanced and Securities Exchange Commission are investigating the board of directors and management more and more. This article provides a brief overview of audit committee’s emergence in UK and Saudi Arabia, Moreover theoretical foundations of the audit committees are also discussed.

Abstract:
This article examines the legal framework in Nigeria for audit committees, identifies and discusses the various gaps in the framework, which, the article argues, may undermine the committees’ effectiveness. The article argues that the Nigerian legal framework, which classifies the audit committee as a committee of the company rather than of the board, mandates shareholders’ representatives on the committee and forbids the committee’s members from receiving remuneration, may create more problems for the committee’s effectiveness. The article proposes reforms of the framework in light of global developments in this area

Abstract:
This study aims to determine the influence of committees under the board of commisioners towards tax planning using the structure of family ownership as the moderating variable. Committees under the board of commisioners included in this study are an audit committess, nomination committess or remuneration, risk policy committee, as well as corporate governance policy committee entirely proxied by the size of the committee. The dependet variable, tax planning, is proxied by Tax Retention Rate (TRR); while moderating variables, the ownership structure, was determined by the ratio of family ownership. This study use profitability as control variable and moderating regression analysis is employed to analyzed the data. The sample used 230 manufacture companies listed on the Stock Exchange Year 2011-2015 and used purposive sampling as sampling method. The result in this study are structure of family ownership has no effect on the relationship between the audit committees and profitability toward tax planning, structure of family ownership has positive effect on the relationship between the nomination committess or remuneration toward tax planning, and then structure of family ownership has negative effect on the relationship between the risk policy committee and corporate governance policy toward tax planning

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to investigate how the roles, characteristics, expectations and evaluation practices of audit committees have adapted to regulatory change and what practices are most conducive to effective audit committees. Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses semi-structured interviews with audit committee chairs and chief audit executives. Findings – While new regulation is a primary driver of changes in the roles of audit committees, the audit committee’s role has evolved beyond regulatory requirements. Audit committees are taking a more active role in organisational governance and performance in key areas such as risk management. However, while audit committees have a clear concept of what characteristics committee members require, conceptual frameworks and mechanisms for evaluating the performance of committees and their members remain underdeveloped. Research limitations/implications – The responses of audit committees in Australia to broader regulatory trends suggest that more research is required into how audit committees function in practice, and into developing new frameworks for evaluating the committees’ performance. This paper provides an in-depth exploration of key areas of audit committee performance, and identifies aspects that might be further investigated. Practical implications – The paper identifies key attributes of effective audit committees and especially the characteristics of audit committee members. The paper also identifies a need to improve – and in many cases create – performance evaluation frameworks and mechanisms. Given the international regulatory trend towards greater reliance on audit committees to improve governance, more policy attention is required on developing guidelines and assessment processes that evaluate whether audit committees are fulfilling their legislative mandate in practice. Originality/value – The paper contributes to the relatively new and more specific discussion on reviewing and evaluating the performance of the board and its subcommittees.

Less optimal role of school committee almost happened in every school, so far society perceive existence of school committee only role in terms of procurement aid of parasarana and education fund. This paper aims to explore the efforts of SMP Negeri 1 Pamarayan in optimizing the role of school committees in the protection of teachers in the implementation of education. The results of the study show that SMP Negeri 1 Pamarayan efforts always coordinate with school committees that are scheduled at least every two months, accommodate and channel the aspirations and initiatives of the community in giving birth to operational policies and educational programs, increasing responsibilities and community participation in the implementation of education, creating atmosphere and transparent, accountable, and democratic conditions. The perceived outcomes relate to teacher protection. The role of school committees in realizing teacher protection can be optimized by scheduling coordination between schools and school committees, all emerging cases can be addressed thanks to the school committee's role without causing a community reaction that harms both parties.

Abstract:
We apply voting theory to the context of audit committees and examine how the even–odd nature of audit committees is related to earnings quality. We hypothesize that an audit committee with an odd number of directors can improve the committee’s voting efficiency by better aggregating directors’ information and thus enhance the quality of committee decisions, as compared with an audit committee with an even number of directors. Supporting this implication, we find that an odd audit committee is associated with lower likelihood of financial restatements than an even audit committee, and that this relation is stronger when the committee members have more heterogeneous opinions, hold less equity ownership, are in a smaller audit committee, and face a more entrenched management.

Abstract:
The functioning of corporate audit committees was criticized in recent years by the Treadway Commission, the Public Oversight Board, the Kirk Panel, and the SEC Chairman. In response, the NYSE and NASD sponsored the Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC) on Improving the Effectiveness of Corporate Audit Committees. The BRC Report includes recommendations aimed at strengthening director independence and qualifications, and highlights the role of internal auditors in assisting audit committees in the corporate governance process. Moreover, the first three recommendations of the BRC relate to audit committee composition: absence of inside or “gray” directors, and presence of a member with financial expertise. This study examines the association between audit committee composition and the committee's interaction with internal auditing. Our results, based on responses from chief internal auditors of 114 public companies, indicate that committees comprised solely of independent directors and with at least one member having an accounting or finance background are more likely to (1) have longer meetings with the chief internal auditor; (2) provide private access to the chief internal auditor; and (3) review internal audit proposals and results of internal auditing. These findings provide empirical support for the BRC's recommendations related to audit committee composition.

Abstract:
School committees hold a central role in decision making on various issues about the development and delivery of primary education, including the monitoring of school projects. This study examined the participation of school committees in monitoring primary school projects in selected schools in Nyang’hwale District in the Geita Region. Specifically, the study determined the extent of school committee members’ participation in monitoring school projects and examined factors influencing the school committee’s participation in monitoring primary school projects. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 17 primary schools and 136 school committee members and key informants involved in the study. Data were collected through structured interviews using a structured questionnaire, key informant interviews and documentary review, and were analyzed for descriptive statistics, chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Results showed that most of the school committee members participated in project identification and planning, but less in budgeting activities. The main factors that influenced the participation of school committees were their perceived ability to speak up in meetings, their willingness to participate and their source of information. It was concluded that school committees’ participation in monitoring school projects was limited and constrained by gender imbalance. Thus, there is a need for capacity building for school committees to enhance their capacity for their roles and responsibilities.

Abstract:
This paper reports the findings of a study that examined the audit committee and internal control effectiveness nexus. The study worked on the assertion that the audit committee of the board enhances internal control effectiveness, which is widely documented and supported, more so in the private sector. As a result, many public sector entities’ governing boards are increasingly establishing such audit committees. Yet, it is unclear to what extent such increase in audit committees contribute to public sector entities’ internal control effectiveness, especially in developing economies. This study, therefore, examined the explanatory power of the audit committee’s characteristics, internal control specific oversight processes, and management support on the effectiveness of internal control of the reporting entity. Data was collected using structured questionnaire administered with key audit committee stakeholders of social security funds in Tanzania. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used to multi-regress the investigated independent variables against the dependent variable. Overall, results show that audit committee characteristics, audit committee internal control specific oversight processes and management support to audit committee significantly account for internal control effectiveness. Indeed, internal control specific oversight processes have the most significant positive explanatory power followed by management support to the audit committee and audit committee characteristics, respectively. Scholars, policymakers, audit committees, boards, and managers may use the results of this study to inform strategies and/or interventions aimed to improve audit committee’s contribution to internal control effectiveness.

Abstract:
Issues related to the composition of audit committees have attracted significant interest from legislators and regulators in recent years. In my dissertation, I examine one overlooked component of audit committee composition – namely, the presence of female directors on the audit committee. I empirically test to see if there are any differences in the functioning of audit committee when there is at least one female director on the audit committee. My dissertation examines three issues: audit committee diligence, audit pricing and earnings management. The absence of females on corporate boards has become the focus of legislators in some countries. Prior research, in a variety of contexts, suggests that women are in general more conservative in their judgments and decisions. The first part of my dissertation empirically shows that the presence of at least one female director on the audit committee makes the audit committee have more meetings. The second essay empirically examines if there is a positive association between audit fees and the presence of female directors in the audit committee. I posit that having a female director on the audit committee will result in higher audit fees. I find no significant evidence to show that audit fees are higher when there is a female director on the audit committee. The third part of my dissertation empirically examines if there an association between the presence of a female director on the audit committee and earnings management. I find no significant evidence to show that the presence of female directors on the audit committee constrains earnings management. Overall, the results suggest that having a female on the audit committee changes the form – if not the substance – of audit committee functioning.

Abstract:
An increasing number of earnings restatements by publicly traded companies in the USA coupled with allegations of financial statement fraud and lack of responsible corporate governance have sharpened the ever increasing attention on corporate governance in general and the audit committee in particular. Over the past three decades, the value of audit committees as a means of enhancing external financial reporting and ensuring the independence of external auditors has been recognised and these committees have become widely established in many parts of the world. In Egypt, the implementation of an economic reform programme has resulted in an active effort by people in authority and those who work-in accounting and the auditing profession to enhance the quality of financial reporting which is considered to be one of the factors necessary to increase the effectiveness of economic performance in Egypt. Through these efforts, evolved the idea of implementing audit committees in Egyptian firms. In this study, old institutional economics is the underpinning methodology. It was selected on the grounds that it has the ability to offer a better understanding of the comparative audit committee practices in Egypt, the USA, and the UK. Also, it is used to explain the interplay between the institutions and actions in the economy, society, and culture which cover the problem of the transference of Anglo Saxon management and accounting theories and concepts such as audit committees to developing countries, such as Egypt. Old institutional economics aims to explain that, the transference between cultures is possible, but the process of transference has to be culturally sensitive. This study aims to measure audit committees effectiveness in order to have indicators about its oversight responsibilities in general and its development in Egypt in particular. The study involves both theoretical and empirical analysis. It begins with a review of the available literature which provides a basis for constructing the framework of this study. Survey and case study methodologies were the main instruments for the empirical investigation. The surveys were used to gather data from the UK and Egyptian audit committee member samples in order to examine audit committee oversight responsibilities from the internal perspective of audit committee members in both countries to draw comparison with the DeZoort (1997) study in the USA. Scenarios were developed regarding the oversight responsibilities of audit committees on the basis of, literature, CPA professional examinations, current recommendations in the USA, and the UK, and current issues which faced the public banking sector in Egypt. These were used to gather data from audit committee members in the public banking sector in Egypt in order to measure the effectiveness of audit committees and examine the effect of audit committee members' independence and experience on audit committee effectiveness. In this study, the effectiveness of the audit committee is measured, in particular, on the extent to which audit committee members carry out their oversight responsibilities regarding financial reporting, external auditing, and internal auditing. The results, in general, assert the low effectiveness of audit committee members in carrying out their oversight responsibilities. In this case, the results highlight the important role of the audit committee charter which define the committee's oversight responsibilities. Also, the results indicate that audit committee effectiveness is significantly and positively related to the independence and experience of audit committee members.

Abstract:
[Abstract]:This research investigated whether the formation of audit committees and their characteristics are associated with improved financial reporting quality. Modified versions of the models developed by Jones (1991) and Dechow and Dichev (2002) provided three measures of earnings quality, which were used to proxy for financial reporting quality. The audit committee characteristics investigated were: independence, expertise, activity, size and tenure.Several contributions to knowledge are made by this research. First, this research examined the association between audit committee formation and financial reporting quality. This could not be done in many of the prior studies that used data on companies in the United States (Klein 2002a; Xie, Davidson and DaDalt 2003a; Bedard, Chtourou and Courteau 2004; Vafeas 2005; Yang and Krishnan 2005; Dhaliwal, Naiker and Navissi 2006), where audit committees have been mandatory for companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1978. A large number of public and private sector groups have recommended mandatory audit committee establishment for all Australian listed companies. However, there has been a lack of empirical support for these recommendations and this research provides evidence regarding this association.Second, audit committees are more heavily regulated in the United States than Australia. Given the relative lack of audit committee regulation for Australian companies, Australia represented a richer empirical setting for the examination of the association between audit committee characteristics and financial reporting quality. The use of Australian company data for the selected time period, avoided the confounding effect of regulation on this association.Third, this research used both a modified version of the traditional Jones (1991) discretionary accruals model and the more recently developed accrual estimation error model from Dechow and Dichev (2002) to estimate proxies for financial reporting quality. Most of the prior studies predominantly used the Jones (1991) model, which has been subject to criticism in the literature. Therefore, the use of multiple models provides more powerful tests of the association between audit committees and financial reporting quality. Finally, this research included changes tests in addition to cross-sectional tests to reduce the likelihood of problems with omitted variables.Several conclusions can be drawn from the results. First, there was some evidence that earnings quality measured using the modified Jones (1991) model significantly reduced in the year following audit committee formation, thus providing some support for the notion that the formation of audit committees improves financial reporting quality. However, a comparison of these results with those of tests using earnings quality measures based on Dechow and Dichev (2002) indicates that audit committees appear more effective at reducing opportunistic earnings management, rather than total accrual estimation errors. Second, there was little evidence of a significant association between the characteristics of audit committees and improved financial reporting quality. Consequently, it can be suggested that, once audit committees are established, variations in their characteristics do not significantly affect financial reporting quality.These conclusions provide support for the mandatory audit committee requirement under the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) listing rules, which became effective from 1 January 2003. However, there are doubts over the usefulness of several aspects of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's recommendations concerning the composition and size of audit committees.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the impact of audit committee characteristics on financial reporting quality in the context of a large sample of UK companies over the period 2007-2010. The notion of financial reporting quality is assessed by looking at the audit quality and earnings quality of the firms. This study utilises the audit fee and non-audit fee ratio as its proxies for audit quality and accruals based earnings management models as its proxies for earnings quality. The findings from the multivariate analysis show that audit committee meetings and financial expertise exert a significant positive impact on audit fees. Investigating expertise further, this study finds no support for the notion that accounting expertise influences audit fees, however a significant positive influence on audit fees is recorded for the non-accounting financial expertise. However, the holding of additional directorships has a significant negative impact on audit fees. This study also finds that audit committee members' financial expertise has a negative and significant impact on non-audit fee ratio suggesting a strong support of members with financial expertise on issues relating to auditor independence. The study also documents that audit committee members serving longer on the boards do not prefer to purchase high amount of non-audit services from the incumbent auditor. This study also records a significant positive impact of the holding of additional directorships on the provision of non-audit fee ratio, thus signifying a profound support for the busyness hypothesis which argues that overstretched directors are not very good monitors of financial reporting quality. Furthermore, this study finds broadly consistent evidence that audit committees meeting three or more times per year and fully independent audit committees exert a significant positive impact on the quality of reported earnings. This study also finds some evidence (depending on the earnings model used) that the level of ownership of audit committee members also exerts a positive impact on the quality of reported earnings, highlighting the fact that audit committee members with an equity stake in their companies are considered more effective in their oversight of the financial reporting process. On the other hand, this study finds evidence that the busyness of audit committee members (busyness defined in terms of the holding of board seats in other companies) has a significant negative impact on the quality of reported earnings. The composite variables (i.e. ACE1, ACE2, ACE3 and ACE4) representing those companies that satisfy all aspects of current best practice in terms of audit committee composition and operation, has a positive impact on the quality of reported earnings. This study covers the period 2007 to 2010 and therefore offers a contemporary analysis of the influence of audit committee characteristics on financial reporting quality. The study is very comprehensive in its scope not only in the selection of audit committee characteristics and methods employed to quantify these characteristics, but also in the use of various proxies developed to capture the true essence of financial reporting quality. The choice of multiple measurement methods both for the dependent and independent variables facilitates a much richer investigation into the relationship between governance and financial reporting quality variables. Therefore this study makes a major contribution to our understanding of the association between the various audit committee characteristics and financial reporting quality in the wake of recently introduced regulatory recommendations. These findings will also have policy implications as regulators around the world continue to define and refine the desired characteristics and behaviour of audit committees. Therefore, the findings of this study will ensure future policy changes regarding audit committees are adequately informed.

The thesis explores a gap in the knowledge of these committees by focusing on the friction between a nationally initiated LPC structure and the creation of local ownership of this peacebuilding operation. The case study analysis is conducted by exploring different perspectives regarding the mandate, role, composition and external support of the nationally initiated Nakuru Peace Committees with the aim to contribute to our knowledge of nationally initiated LPCs and their possibilities and challenges.

Published Article
This article discusses the developments and factors that impact on the external audit function, and analyses the role that an effectively functioning audit committee can play in supporting the external auditor's independence and effectiveness. This is done through a literature review of external audit and audit committee developments, and is supported by empirical evidence obtained from assessing the annual reports and from questionnaires sent to the audit committee chairs of the Top 40 listed companies in South Africa. The main findings of the study are that audit committees at the largest listed companies in South Africa are taking responsibility for overseeing the external audit function, but that the disclosure thereof in annual reports was found to be lacking. These findings are of significance as they provide support for the recommendations of King III (effective from 1 March 2010) that all companies should form audit committees and that external audit should be given oversight responsibilities in this regard.

Abstract:
We study the election of sequences of committees, where in each of tau levels (e.g. modeling points in time) a committee consisting of k candidates from a common set of m candidates is selected. For each level, each of n agents (voters) may nominate one candidate whose selection would satisfy her. We are interested in committees which are good with respect to the satisfaction per day and per agent. More precisely, we look for egalitarian or equitable committee sequences. While both guarantee that at least x agents per day are satisfied, egalitarian committee sequences ensure that each agent is satisfied in at least y levels while equitable committee sequences ensure that each agent is satisfied in exactly y levels. We analyze the parameterized complexity of finding such committees for the parameters n, m, k, tau, x, and y, as well as combinations thereof.

Full text
Abstract:
Nomination committees are becoming increasingly popular. A nomination committee, or a nominating board, is a group or committee responsible for selecting and nominating candidates for a company’s board of directors. The primary purpose of a nomination committee is to identify and recommend qualified individuals who can effectively fulfill the responsibilities of the positions in question. Still, nomination committees’ roles and work processes have not been much researched. Among those issues yet not solved is whether selection practices will be more professional and transparent by the existence of nomination committees. Nonetheless, according to guidelines on good corporate governance, there are existing arguments for how beneficial nomination committees can be for good governance practices. This research compares and presents similarities and differences regarding nomination committees in the Nordic countries. The Nordic countries, being similar in many ways, have not all taken the same path regarding nomination committees. Hence, it makes an interesting comparison study. Guidelines for governance are similar and, in all essentials, comparable to what is happening in the Nordic countries. Therefore, it must not be forgotten that companies can deviate from the guidelines’ recommendations as their circumstances require. It can be assumed that good governance, including nomination committees, is one of the things that companies should adopt more and more if considering the development in other countries, e.g., the Nordic countries. The activity of foreign investors has also led to jumps in the development of governance practices.

Lakahal, S., and R. Issa. "The Importance of Gender Balance Committees to Promote Gender Diversity." In ADIPEC. SPE, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/216095-ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction Gender balance and diversity are topics that most people can spend countless hours discussing. But how can an organization structure and derive impact and value from these discussions? At SLB we created Gender Balance committees and found that with structure and follow through, we were able to create a wave of positive change across MENA. The focus of our Gender Balance committees is actions not words. This is complimented by the mission, which is to create visible and meaning gender balance improvements using a data driven and business led approach with concentrated actions that are measured and reported. Methods, Procedures, Process Each location in MENA has unique characteristics, opportunities, and challenges when it comes to gender balance. This was an essential driver of the decision to not only have a MENA Gender Balance Committee, but to replicate this committee in the locations across the region. With that, SLB currently has a MENA Gender Balance Committee as well as 9 other complimentary committees in our locations. The committees work in alignment with each other and the MENA committee. The MENA committee creates the focus areas and recommended actions. The purpose of key actions is to have all locations as well as MENA, working in unison which will result in a larger impact. However, noting back to the differences between locations mentioned above, we have provided recommended actions to inspire action vs. discussion. If a location committee doesn't believe a recommended action makes sense for its location, they have the ability to replace it with an action that will. For the committees to work well there needs to be both aligned actions and location specific actions. Continuing with the notion of actions not words, at the start of each year, the MENA committee not only creates the focus areas for the year but also creates one-pagers for each initiative. The key purpose of the one-pagers is to support the MENA and location committees in jumping into action as opposed to spending time and bandwidth on brainstorming. The one-pagers provide details on the initiatives scope, divers, timeline, implementation plan, next steps, and measures of success. Having these details in addition to the initiative also helps ensure where the company and committee members time and resources are going, will yield impact. Some initiatives will have qualitative and other quantitative measures of success, but regardless, the one-pagers help ensure we can capture the impact of our work. To develop the actions, the MENA committee first worked to understand what the organizations priorities were with regards to gender balance and diversity. From there, we created 4 focus areas as pillars to organize our actions. The four pillars are: Why, Direction, Measuring and Advocacy. Each pillar encompasses a key goal for the MENA committee for that year, as well as the MENA and location specific actions mentioned above. With these 4 pillars we can visualize the improvements as the actions range in impact type. For example, under the Why pillar, actions center around raising awareness whereas under the Measuring pillar we track key metrics and improvements. Often times with gender balance and diversity initiatives we see the impact swing towards one end of the spectrum only, for example taking part in conferences and events. Although these initiatives are important, they won't on their own move the needle as much as is needed in many organizations. With the pillars in place, we've structured our actions to ensure we achieve a wider range of long-term, sustainable impact. There is always room for improvement, and this is why at the start of each year, the MENA committee completes a workshop to review the actions taken over the past year. We look to understand which had the desired outcome and which did not. We want to know which individual actions once done, can be replaced and which are longer-term and need a follow up action. With this approach, we ensure we are not overloading ourselves or the location committees and are allowing appropriate time for the action or initiative to fully flourish. We work to find a balance between implementing fresh and new ideas while also maintaining momentum on other actions. Following the decision on the focus areas and actions, the MENA committee then develops a one-pager for each of the actions, new or refreshed. Once the focus areas, actions and one-pagers are set for MENA, an interactive presentation is held with all location specific committee members. Here, the details are reviewed and discussed and feedback from the committees is received. It is important that actions are discussed and that the location committees understand what we want to action across the region. An independent action will have impact, but if the entire region works on and implementing the same action the impact to gender balance and diversity is significantly amplified. Results, Observations, Conclusions Gender balance and diversity are key topics in many organizations today and moving from words to actions through a structured committee approach ignites a wave of passion in individuals and across the organization. At SLB we are proud of the tremendous efforts that have been made by the MENA and location specific gender balance committees. With over 90 committee members of various background spread across the region we see commitment, passion and impact growing.

Abstract:
Electing a single committee of a small size is a classical and well-understood voting situation. Being interested in a sequence of committees, we introduce two time-dependent multistage models based on simple scoring-based voting. Therein, we are given a sequence of voting profiles (stages) over the same set of agents and candidates, and our task is to find a small committee for each stage of high score. In the conservative model we additionally require that any two consecutive committees have a small symmetric difference. Analogously, in the revolutionary model we require large symmetric differences. We prove both models to be NP-hard even for a constant number of agents, and, based on this, initiate a parameterized complexity analysis for the most natural parameters and combinations thereof. Among other results, we prove both models to be in XP yet W[1]-hard regarding the number of stages, and that being revolutionary seems to be "easier" than being conservative.

Full text
Abstract:
Standardization related to the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED) is of considerable importance. European Member States must permit the placing on the market of pressure equipment and assemblies at the date of application of this Directive since 29 May 2002, and permit such equipment and assemblies to be put into service since this date. The economic significance of the pressure equipment sector for the common European market is made clear by the fact, that approximately every tenth subject presently dealt with by the European Standardization Committee (CEN) is directly or indirectly linked to the PED. On a European level, a total of 19 Technical Committees in CEN and 9 Technical Committees in ECISS (European Committee for Iron and Steel Standardization) are involved in standardization relating to the Directive 97/23/EC. Three committees are dealing with flanges, gaskets, bolts and valves. On a international level two technical committees standardize flanges and bolts.

Full text
Abstract:
1. The Food Standards Agency (FSA), established in 2000, is an independent non-ministerial government department which works to protect public health and consumer’s interests in relation to food in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Its work includes food safety and food crime, as well as helping to improve the healthiness and sustainability of diets. 2. Science and evidence underpin much of the work of the FSA and the Agency is supported by a range of Science Advisory Committees (SACs) which are constituted as non-statutory Advisory Non-departmental Public Bodies or Departmental Expert Committees 3. The two committees with the broadest remit are the Science Council (SC) and the Advisory Committee for Social Sciences (ACSS) which were both set up in 2017. Cabinet Office guidance states such committees should be reviewed every 3-5 years and accordingly the FSA commissioned this review in Q4 2022 to report in the first half of 2023 (a timeframe that was slightly delayed by the pandemic).
