It was RESOLVED that the Minutes of the meeting of the Audit Committee held on 12 September 2018 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chair.
In respect of Minute 4 – SIAS Annual Report 2017/18, the Independent Member (Mr Geoff Gibbs) confirmed that he had just received the Ernst & Young toolkit for assessing the effectiveness of Audit Committees. He acknowledged that a full scale review might be costly, but felt that some form of self-assessment might be possible.
