Minutes:

The Head of Audit and Management Assurance presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'E' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

This report set out the indicative list of reports to be considered by the Audit and Governance Committee for the 2023/24 municipal year to enable it to fulfil its terms of reference. It was explained that the Plan was indicative at this stage with the opportunity, after the elections, for the new Committee to itself identify subjects for the ‘extra’ meetings of the Committee. It was also confirmed that if any matters arose for the attention of the Committee during the interim period when there were no meetings of the Committee, these items would be circulated to members by email.

It was, however, agreed that during the period whilst the new Committee established its priorities going forward, an ‘extra’ meeting on 8th June 2023 would be premature and should be removed from the Forward Plan for this municipal year.

RESOLVED that subject to the removal of the proposed ‘extra’ meeting on 8 June 2023, the Audit and Governance Committee approves the indicative forward plan set out at Appendix A.

Voting: Unanimous
