GREEN PEN CLUB
Welcome to the Website which will be developed as the Club progresses.
This is a group of retired colleagues from various County Councils in the Midlands who were Heads of Internal Audit, Assistant Chief Finance Officers etc with Internal Audit responsibilities. We were all members of the Midland Counties Chief Internal Auditors Group and have retired from employment in those councils.
Several continue to carry out financial consultancy work in local government.
New eligible retired members are always welcome to apply to join!
