It was noted that the planned fee for external audit work in relation to the 2019/20 financial statements audit and value for money conclusion was £38,866 which was the same as in 2018/19. The fee for grant claim certification work had not yet been set. Provision for the audit fee had been incorporated into the Council’s financial planning.
In response to a question, Ms James of Grant Thornton, the External Auditor, explained the outline audit timetable including the phases of work, the team members and the approximate number of weeks involved.
RESOLVED: That the planned fee of £38,866 for the 2019/20 financial statements audit and value for money conclusion be noted.
