At a meeting on 23 Apr 1994, the Council of Management approved the setting up of a Trustee Auditing and Monitoring 'Filter' Group from among its members, reporting to Council. Among other tasks, the Audit Group, later the Trustee Audit Group, was concerned with the review of all Oxfam audit and monitoring reports and of its compliance with financial, administrative and charity legislation. In 1998 the brief of the group was extended to include finance, and it was renamed the Trustee Audit and Finance Group.
