To receive and comment on the Audit Plan for 2011-12.

The Committee considered a report regarding the Audit Plan, which set out the work that the Audit Commission proposed to undertake for the audit of financial statements and the value for money conclusion 2011-12.  The Audit Plan also specified the level of audit fees.

Judith Tench and Andrea Castling (Audit Commission) were in attendance and spoke to the report.

The Audit Plan was based on the Audit Commission’s risk-based approach to audit planning and reflected the audit work specified by the Audit Commission for 2011-12, current national risks relevant to the authority’s local circumstances, and local risks.

RESOLVED:

That the Audit Plan for 2011-12, as set out in Appendix A of the Report, be received.
