To consider a report of the Audit and Assurance Manager, for comments / approval.

The Audit and Assurance Manager introduced a report setting out the proposed work plan for the Committee for the 2019/20 municipal year, noting the plan’s intentionally flexible and responsive character. In the light of Members’ interest in the area of Business Continuity, it was noted that this would generally feature within the broader Strategic Risk Register report, though, in accordance with Members’ discussion at the previous meeting, a more focussed report could be brought to the Committee if desired. It was noted that a specific update on cyber security was planned for the Committee’s meeting in March 2020. In discussion, it was agreed that it would be helpful for the relevant reports / presentations from the March 2019 meeting to be circulated to these Members who had joined the Committee in the interim.

RESOLVED – That the 2019/20 work programme for the Committee be approved.
