To consider a report of the Audit and Assurance Manager.

The Audit and Assurance Manager introduced a report which set out the work plan for the Committee for the 2020/21 municipal year, outlining areas considered by the Committee at each of its meetings, over the period of the year.  It was noted that the work programme had assisted in ensuring that the Committee met its responsibilities under its terms of reference and maintained focus on key issues and priorities as defined by the Committee. It was noted that one additional item – the external auditor’s Audit Strategy Memorandum, setting out proposed work for the coming year – would be circulated to Members by correspondence. Members were advised that an Annual Report covering its work over the past year, and a proposed work plan for the coming year, would be presented to the Committee’s next meeting.

RESOLVED – That the position on the 2020/21 work programme be noted.
