Audit committee is a sub committe of the Board of Directors.Board consist of Independent Directors and non independent Directors(full time directors involved in the operations of the company).Independent Directors form normally one third of the Board. Normally,Audit Committe consist of independent directors.So CEO and CFO cannot be members of the Audit Committee.
