Agenda item

The Committee will receive the indicative Audit Committee Work Plan for 2018/19.

The Committee received a report providing the indicative work plan for the Committee for its proposed scheduled meetings for the remainder of the 2018/19 municipal year and for 2019/20.

The Executive Director Core Services informed Members of the Committee that Ms D Terris (Chief Executive) was to leave the Council at the end of May 2019.  Arrangements were, therefore, in hand to recruit to her replacement.

It was noted that it was proposed that the meeting scheduled for the 19^th July, 2019 be held at 4.00 pm on Monday 22^nd July, 2019.  This was due to the change of arrangements for approving the final accounts and receiving the External Audit Governance Report.  Prior to that meeting at 3.00pm the Council’s External Auditor would present a briefing on the External Audit Governance Report (ISO 260).

The Chair reported that he was unable to attend the meeting scheduled for the 18^th September, 2019 as he was attending the Arnhem 75^th Commemoration event and he sought permission, therefore, to move that meeting to the 11^th September, 2019.

RESOLVED:

(i)             that the core work plan for the remainder of the 2018/19 municipal year and for 2019/20 meetings of the Audit Committee be approved and reviewed on a regular basis;

(ii)          that the following changes to dates of future meetings be approved:

·         19^th July be moved to 22^nd July, 2019 at 4.00 pm

·         18^th September be moved to 11^th September, 2019 at 4.00 pm
