Governance committees

IRU’s PE appoints two committees every three years to support financial governance.

Audit Committee

Set up by the PE, the Audit Committee (AC) ensures strong governance. The current AC includes three PE members and an independent chairperson.

The AC supports the PE in overseeing governance, risk management, internal controls, fraud prevention, ethics and compliance, and internal audit.

In line with the latest Global Internal Audit Standards, the AC reviews the internal audit’s adherence to best practices, evaluates quality assurance mechanisms, and proposes improvements.

The internal audit function conducts reviews related to fraud, risks, compliance, and finance. It also tracks the implementation of prior audits, conducts quality assurance reviews, and reports to the AC to ensure transparency.

For 2025, audits were selected based on a risk analysis. These include follow-ups on previous audits, the admission of new TIR countries, training centre audits, IT security and resilience assessments, responses to enterprise risk management, and the sanction screening process.

Finance Committee

The IRU Finance Committee (FC) is an advisory body set up by the PE to help it perform its responsibilities. The current FC consists of six members from IRU’s membership.

The FC advises the PE on financial management matters, including the budget and IRU regulations on subscriptions, ensuring alignment with the decisions taken by the PE and General Assembly, while preserving IRU’s financial sustainability.

The FC also conducts other duties entrusted by the PE.
