Audit & Risk Committee Vacancies

The RYA, as an equal opportunity and disability confident employer, celebrates and welcomes diversity in all its forms believing that a diverse community boosts innovation, productivity and creativity and enables everyone to be their authentic selves.  We’d particularly welcome applications from ethnically diverse candidates who are currently underrepresented at the RYA.

Are you a qualified finance professional with experience working in industry or are you an expert in audit?

We currently have two upcoming vacancies as a result of 2 members coming to the end of their second terms on the RYA’s Audit & Risk Committee. The committee is responsible for monitoring the operation of the Association’s financial control processes and its management of risk.

Reporting to the Board of Directors the committee oversees the relationship with the RYA’s external auditors, and its members provide independent advice and guidance to RYA staff.

The committee meets three times each year either virtually or in London or Hamble and issues an annual report to the Board, which give details of its activities and findings. Independent committee members are appointed initially for a 3-year term.

Some knowledge of the RYA and its ways of working would be beneficial, but not essential. This is a non-remunerated role, but basic travel expenses are paid.

For an informal discussion about the role, or to apply, please contact the Dave Strain, RYA Finance Director, by email dave.strain@rya.org.uk
