The Committee received the Quarter 3 Local Government Audit Committee Briefing from the Council’s external auditors, Ernst and Young.
In response to a Member’s question, the Committee was advised that there was no financial penalty for late filing of the Statement of Accounts, but that it was more a reputational issue for Local Authorities and external auditors.
It was RESOLVED that the Local Government Briefing Paper for Quarter 3 prepared by Ernst and Young be noted.
