Minutes:
The Committee considered a report which detailed the key findings identified during the External Auditor’s certification process for 2011/12 specific grant income.
The report summarised the findings from the certification of 2011/12 claims. It included recommendations arising from the auditor’s assessment of the Council’s arrangements for preparing claims and returns and information on claims that were amended or qualified.
The report recognised the improvements in the process from 2010/11, and in particular, that all claims were submitted by the required date and all were audited by the audit deadline, and that there were fewer claims requiring amendments and qualifications in 2011/12.
The fees associated with the grant certification work in 2011/12 were £54,582.
RESOLVED:
That the Grants Certification Report be received.
