Report by the Director for Finance

 

This report presents a revised draft of the Audit & Governance Committee Terms of Reference, for approval at the Committee and for inclusion within the December review/update to the Constitution.

 

The Committee is RECOMMENDED to approve the updated terms of reference for the Audit & Governance Committee and request that this is included within the December 2019 review and update of the Constitution.

Decision:

Recommendation agreed

Minutes:

Sarah Cox introduced the report.  The new Terms of Reference do not material change anything, it’s about clarity of wording.  The CIPFA template was used and Glenn Watson ensured that any local requirements were covered.

 

Glenn Watson clarified that, although the December Council meeting had been cancelled, it falls to the Monitoring Officer to bring the changes into effect.  This must be reported to Council but Council’s approval is not required.

 

Councillor Roz Smith asked that training be provided for Members on Value for Money.  Sarah Cox said that she would follow that up.

 

RESOLVED: to approve the updated terms of reference for the Audit & Governance Committee and request that this is included within the December 2019 review and update of the Constitution.
