An Audit Committee, comprising between three and six members of the General Meeting who are not members of the Executive Committee, is elected each year by the General Meeting by secret ballot. It elects its chairman from among its members. However, no audit committee is set up in the regional unions, which are composed of only three members.
The provisions of Chapter II of Title I of Book VI of the Commercial Code relating to the accounting obligations of associations receiving subsidies from the administrative authorities are applicable to the regional unions of health professionals.
The committee carries out accounting and financial controls and investigations at any time. At the annual meeting at which the accounts are approved, it presents a report to the Assembly on the management of the association and the accounts for the financial year, including a detailed statement of income and its origin.
