Issue - meetings

To consider an update from the External Auditors Grant Thornton on progress in delivering their responsibilities.

Consideration was given to an update from the External Auditors on progress in delivering their responsibilities; their report highlighted topical issues and developments and also included a number of challenge questions for the Committee to consider in respect of emerging issues. 

The External Auditor reported that, in response to the Council’s request for the evidence to be provided earlier in the year, work would begin on the value for money conclusion in January 2014.  Alternative Service Delivery Vehicles, and the budget setting process, would be looked at along with various other areas of work.

RESOLVED

That the update report be received and noted.
