Issue - meetings

This report sets out the refreshed list of reports to be considered by the Audit & Governance Committee for the 2025/26 municipal year in order to enable it to fulfil its terms of reference.

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 'I' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

The report set out the refreshed list of reports to be considered by the Audit & Governance Committee for the 2025/26 municipal year. It was noted that the annual report of fire safety would be presented to the Committee in January 2026. This had previously formed a joint report with health and safety, however these were now separate teams which followed different reporting timescales. The Forward Plan also included schedules for the FuturePlaces and Carters Quay items.

The Chair asked members to note that a further meeting on FuturePlaces may be required depending on the outcome of the Committee meeting on 6 November 2025.  She also indicated that it may be possible to schedule Carters Quay on 27 November 2025, should other reports be delayed.

RESOLVED that the Audit & Governance Committee approves the Forward Plan for 2025/26 as set out at Appendix A.

Voting: Agreed with no dissent
