Appointment of External Auditors
PDF 18 KBDecision Maker: Cobtree Manor Estate Charity Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the appointment of external auditors for the Charity for the financial years 2009/10 and 2010/11.
Decision:
That King & Taylor be re-appointed as external auditors for the Charity for the financial years 2009/10 and 2010/11.
Reasons for the decision:
King & Taylor have been the external auditors for a number of years and there is a good working relationship between their staff and Council staff. In addition, King & Taylor are experienced auditors of charity accounts and have a good working knowledge of the Charity known as the Cobtree Manor Estate from their previous audit work.
Alternative options considered:
The Charity could seek to appoint a different auditor. However, for the reasons outlined above, it is proposed that King & Taylor continue in their current role. In addition, the Charity Commission guidance on Independent Examination of Charity Accounts does not appear to place any requirement upon Trustees to change auditors after any specified time period.
