Minutes:
A representative of the Corporate Director for Corporate and Support Services submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out the findings of recent research into the effectiveness of Audit Committees in a range of corporate, public and not for profit organisations, undertaken by Grant Thornton, the Council’s external auditors.
The following comments were made/issues raised:-
· Continuity of Audit Committee membership was an aspiration;
· There still remained a need for a certain degree of turnover in the membership of the Committee as newcomers could often provide an alternative perspective.
RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
