Issue - meetings

Purpose: to consider the report summarising Ernst & Young’s preliminary audit conclusion in relation to the council’s financial position and results of operations for 2012/13 (report to follow)

Mrs A Ockleston, Audit Manager, advised the audit results report was very positive and there was nothing of significance to draw to the committee’s attention.  She advised that the additional audit fee work was not relevant in this year but would be relevant next year.  In addition, she stated that Maria Grindley would give an unqualified opinion on the accounts.

The committee noted the report.
