Issue - meetings

          The Board considered a report by the Director - Finance, which presented for information the draft response provided to the annual letter to the Board from Grant Thornton, the Council’s external auditors, regarding their year-end audit of accounts work.

          The Appendix to the report outlined the draft responses provided to a number of questions contained in a letter from Grant Thornton, which it was proposed to provide to them in order to assist with their year-end audit of accounts.

            Following on from the discussion around Mersey Gateway income, it was agreed that prior to an Audit and Governance meeting, a training briefing delivered by Mersey Gateway representatives could be provided for the Board.

          RESOLVED: That the draft responses shown in the Appendix be provided to the Council’s external auditors.
