The CIPFA best practice publication ‘A
Toolkit for Local Authority Audit Committees’ recommends that
an Annual Report is prepared by the Chair of the Audit
Committee.
The aim of the report is to:-
• demonstrate how the Audit Committee has fulfilled its terms
of reference during the financial year and how it is fully
committed to helping to improve the Council’s governance and
control environments during the year ahead.
• outline how the committee’s activities during the
financial year are designed to make a positive contribution to the
continual improvement of governance arrangements across the
Council, as well as performing the statutory roles as identified in
the Constitution.
