Agenda item

Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director, Resources which informed Members of the completion of the audit of the Pension Fund Accounts and presented the Audit Completion Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2014 (for copy see file of Minutes).

Hilary Appleton advised that the external Auditor, Mazars LLP had given an unqualified opinion that the financial statements gave a true and fair view of the transactions of the pension fund and had been properly prepared. There were no adjustments identified which impacted on the core financial statements and where the Auditor had noted that there was scope to improve in the areas set out in the report, Officers would endeavour to make these improvements during the year.

Catherine Banks of Mazars LLP stated that the audit had gone well and thanked Officers for their assistance.

Resolved:

That the information given be noted and Officers involved be thanked for their work during the Audit.
