Item AU 14/15 referred from Audit Committee minutes of 14 April 2014

RESOLVED:  That the recommendations at Minute AU 14/15 be adopted.

The report of the Chairman of the Audit Committee was produced to inform the Council of the means by which the Committee had provided independent assurance on the adequacy of the risk management framework, the internal control environment and the integrity of the financial reporting and annual governance processes. 

The report summarised the work carried out by the Committee during 2013/14 and concluded that the required assurance set out in the CIPFA Audit Committee Guidance had been provided to those charged with governance.  A minor amendment was made to paragraph 1.13.3 of the report, deleting the words “to support”.

RECOMMENDED:  That the Annual Report be presented to the Council as independent assurance to those charged with governance on the adequacy of the risk management framework, the internal control environment and the integrity of the financial reporting and annual governance processes.
