The majority of these records belonged to, or were closely associated with, the Committee of Correspondence, and a series known as 'Auditor's References' comprising papers mainly relating to the financial claims of Company servants.. The Committee of Correspondence was the most important of the standing committees appointed by the Court of Directors down to 1833. It was responsible mainly for supervising the Company's non-Secret correspondence with India etc; for controlling the overseas establishments, including the consideration of the financial and other claims of civil and military personnel, and for appointing civil cadets (to 1805); and for filling posts in many departments of the Company's home establishment.
