To consider the Audit Committee’s work programme.

Members considered a report which set out the Committee’s work programme for the remainder of the 2018/19 municipal year.

The Chairman explained that an attempt had been made to not only schedule the Committee’s meetings in response to the new national auditing system but to match the work programme content to meet its demands.  In addition the work programme had also attempted to ensure that the Committee received regular reports on various audit related issues so that Members could consider whether the related strategies and policies were functioning correctly.

The Chairman reminded Members to suggest that the Committee occasionally call on officers to report to it on issues that were not scheduled in the work programme.  He viewed this as the Committee’s duty.  

RESOLVED

that the proposed Audit Committee work programme for the remainder of the 2018/19 municipal year, as set out at Appendix A to the report of the Committee Services Officer, be approved.
