Minutes:
The Committee considered the report of the
Head of Finance and Customer Services regarding the External
Auditor’s progress to date against the 2011/12 audit
plan.
Mr Golding of the Audit Commission updated
Members on progress since the last meeting. It was noted that, whilst the Letter of Assurance
has been requested by the Audit Commission in previous years, it
has been included as an Appendix to the Audit Commission’s
report for the first time.
The Committee were informed that the
Commissioner announced 2 weeks ago the results of a procurement
exercise and that Grant Thornton had won 4 out of the 10 areas,
including Maidstone. The majority of
staff currently working for the Audit Commission will transfer to
Grant Thornton.
RESOLVED: That the
External Auditor’s progress report be noted.
