Issue - meetings

To consider a letter from the external auditor.

To comply with International Auditing Standards, each year our External Auditors need to refresh their understanding of the management processes in place to prevent and detect fraud and to ensure compliance with law and regulation. They are also required to make inquiries of both management and those charged with governance as to their knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

The Committee is invited to comment on the letter.

A representative of the External Auditors, Grant Thornton, submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) outlining their understanding of the Council’s management processes which are in place to prevent and detect fraud whilst ensuring compliance with law and regulation.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
