Decision:

That the Committee is assured by the Auditor General for Wales’ Annual Improvement Report for 2018/19.

Minutes:

The Chief Executive presented the Annual Improvement Report by the Wales Audit Office (WAO) which summarised the audit and regulatory work undertaken at the Council since the last report published in November 2018.  The report, which made no formal recommendations, concluded positively that ‘the Council was meeting its statutory requirements in relation to continuous improvement but, as with all councils in Wales, it faces challenges going forward’.

 

He had no concerns about the voluntary proposals for improvement from national and local reports which were accompanied by a draft response setting out low-level actions.  Any comments raised by the Committee would be reported to Cabinet.

 

Whilst highlighting the WAO Annual Audit Letter summarising work in 2017-18, Richard Harries advised that the letter for 2018-19 would report on all work in that period including the accounts for the current year.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Committee is assured by the Auditor General for Wales’ Annual Improvement Report for 2018/19.
