Matters arising
[To consider any matters arising from the minutes]
Minutes:
With reference to Minute 4 (Matters arising) and in response to Cllr Andrew Wynne, Mark Stocks from the Council’s external auditors, Grant Thornton reiterated the response given at the last meeting. The external auditor remained comfortable with the assumptions the Council was making on its plans to address the budget deficit. The assumptions were kept under review and the Council’s audit plans and risk register were consulted. There were no issues that they needed to bring to the Committee’s attention.
With reference to Minute 6 (Strategic Risk Register and Strategic Assurance Map), it was confirmed that the owner of risk 21 (Transforming Adult Social Care Programme) would be attending the next meeting to provide a detailed update on how the risk was being managed.
