Agenda item

Pursuant to Standards and Audit Committee Minute No.24 the Director of Finance and Resources presented a report summarising the changes made to the arrangements for the appointment of external auditors at the end of the transitional period following the closure of the Audit Commission.

The report recommended that the council should opt into to the appointing person arrangements made by Public Sector Audit Appointments, for the procurement and appointment of external auditors as this would offer the best value solution for the council.

RESOLVED –

That the Council opts in to the appointing person arrangements made by Public Sector Audit Appointments for the procurement and appointment of external auditors.
