That the Audit Committee Annual Report 2018/19 be approved.

The Internal Audit Manager presented the Audit Committee Annual Report 2018/19 which, in accordance with best practice, demonstrated to the Council its accountability and effectiveness on its Terms of Reference.  The report had been endorsed by the Audit Committee in September.

Councillor Peers asked that the section on attendance more clearly reflect that he had attended as a substitute and was not required to be present at the other meetings.  He also suggested that section 5.4 note the practice for the Audit Committee to vote to allow substitutions at meetings.  The Internal Audit Manager agreed to make the changes.

As Chairman of the Audit Committee, Councillor Chris Dolphin moved the recommendation and thanked the Internal Audit Manager and her team.

RESOLVED:

That the Audit Committee Annual Report 2018/19 be approved.
