Councillor Boyd, Chair of the Governance and Audit Committee, presented the report.  She noted that the Committee had continued to discharge its responsibilities to provide independent assurance on the adequacy of the Council's risk management framework  and the associated control environment, and it had provided robust scrutiny and challenge of the Authority's financial performance.

 

Councillor Boyd offered her thanks to the Members serving on the Committee and Sub-Committee,  and to the Officers for their support.

 

The Council had also faced the challenge of receiving the Statutory Recommendations made by Grant Thornton under Section 24 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014.  Work to address those recommendations was ongoing and Members and Officers were cooperating fully with the work of the Independent Monitoring Officer, Mr Baker.

 

Members noted the report.
