Agenda item

The Committee received a report from the External Auditor that gave an update on progress on the External Audit report for Durham County Council (for copy see file of Minutes).

Mr Collins informed the Committee that planning of the 2016/17 audit had commenced and as the accounts would be closed down earlier next year, the planning aspect would also move forward.

He highlighted the national publication on public sector audit appointments that would monitor the work of external audit.

Resolved:-

That the report be noted.
