Decision:
That the Committee is assured by the Auditor General for Wales’ Annual Audit Summary for 2019/20.
Minutes:
The Chief Executive presented the Annual Audit Summary for 2019/20 (formerly the Annual Improvement Report and Annual Audit Letter) which summarised the findings of audit and regulatory work previously undertaken at the Council by Audit Wales (AW). The report concluded positively that ‘the Council has met its legal duties for improvement planning and reporting’. No formal recommendations were made during the year. There were new minor proposals for improvement and proposals for development arising from three of the reviews.
The report had been well received by the Audit Committee where discussion had taken place about the description of the Council’s ‘high risk’ financial strategy which reflected its unwillingness to compromise services and reliance on the Local Government Settlement to balance the budget.
The recommendation was moved and seconded by Councillors Jones and Woolley.
RESOLVED:
That the Committee is assured by the Auditor General for Wales’ Annual Audit Summary for 2019/20.
