Decision details

Fiona Blatcher, associate director with Grant Thornton presented the external auditor's Annual Audit letter for 2011/12 which summarised for members the findings of the annual audit for 2011/12. 

The report audit was made up of two elements: the audit of the council's financial statements and an assessment of the council's arrangements to achieve value for money in the use of resources.

The committee was informed that the overall quality of the accounts was good reflecting the commitment of the Council's officers to meet the requirements of the code of Practice of Local Authority Accounting. The committee was also informed that the council had proper arrangements in place to secure economy, efficiency and effectiveness in its use of resources.

Resolved:  That the Annual Audit letter for 2011/12 be noted.
