Minutes:

The External Auditor submitted a report setting out the planned audit fee for 2014/15.  It was noted that the scale fee for 2014/15 was set by the Audit Commission and this had been set at £68,875 (unchanged from the scale fee for 2013/14).  The scope of the fee was set out in the report.

 

The External Auditor provided clarification in relation to grant claims. 

 

The Director of Finance and Support Services stated that there would eventually be a move to Universal Credit that could see the one remaining grant for Housing Benefit further reducing, but that further information was still awaited.

 

The Committee received the report.

 

RESOLVED – that the report be received.
