          The Board considered a report of the Director of Finance, which provided an update on the actions being taken to address the recommendations arising from the External Auditor’s 2023/24 Annual Report (AAR) which was presented to the Board at its meeting on 25 November 2024. The AAR included two statutory recommendations, which given their importance, were required to be approved by Council on 5 December 2024. In addition, the External Auditor highlighted a number of recommendations made for the previous year which were still being addressed.

          An action plan had been prepared to manage the work being undertaken in response to the External Auditor’s recommendations. The Board noted that good progress had been made in addressing all of the recommendations and the Appendix presented details of progress in relation to the Action Plan.

          RESOLVED: That the progress update regarding the 2023/24 AAR Action Plan as presented in the Appendix be noted.
