To consider an oral update report from the Council's External Auditor.

Karen Murray, representing the Council’s external auditor, Mazars, advised Members on the current position on a small number of issues, reported to the previous meeting, which were delaying the formal completion of the audit and signature of the audit report. It was noted that completion was expected in the near future; that Members would be separately advised of this; and that there would be a formal opportunity, if needed, to discuss the content of the report at the Committee’s next meeting.

          RESOLVED – That the content of the oral update be noted.
