Annual report

The ACBS does not publish an annual report. The Code of Practice for Scientific Advisory Committees sets out the content that should be published in an annual report. These are the committee鈥檚 purpose and activities, its membership and members鈥� interests, and a financial statement. All of this content, with the exception of a financial statement, is recorded in the minutes of its meetings or published on 188体育.

The ACBS does not publish a financial statement because there is very little financial activity to report. Members are entitled to claim repayment of expenses, but they are not paid for their services.
