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.
