Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme, as amended, be accepted; and

(b)       That the Internal Audit Manager, in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Committee, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises.

The Internal Audit Manager presented the current Forward Work Programme for consideration, which also provided an opportunity to identify training needs.  In addition, the Committee would be given briefings on key pieces of work such as training on the Statement of Accounts prior to the meeting (in advance of the draft accounts being considered at the next meeting).

Sally Ellis pointed out that the Clwyd Pension Fund Statement of Accounts would accompany the Council’s accounts scheduled for the July meeting.

In response to a question from Councillor Johnson, it was clarified that the item on Contract Management due in September would deal with management of the performance of contractors whilst reflecting earlier discussion on the red assurance audit report.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme, as amended, be accepted; and

(b)       That the Internal Audit Manager, in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Committee, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises.
