Minutes:
The Committee considered a draft of its 2011/12 Annual Report for 2011/12.
Many Audit Committees prepared an annual report to demonstrate how they had fulfilled their terms of reference and to account for their performance. CIPFA guidance stated that key aspects to consider including in such a report were:
§ Committee membership.
§ Summary of activity, including key topics, decisions and recommendations.
§ Review of the committee's effectiveness, including any external assessment results.
§ Development activity undertaken, such as training, networking with other audit committees and peer reviews.
The CIPFA guidance also stated that annual reports should be publicly available and should be readable and accessible.
The requirement to submit an annual report was now included within Cheshire East Council’s Constitution and the 2011/12 report was the first annual report of the Committee.
Members agreed a couple of minor amendments with regard to the dates referred to in the report.
RESOLVED
That subject to the minor amendments agreed, the Annual Report 2011/12 be approved for submission to Council.
