Additional documents:
Decision:
That the report be noted.
Minutes:
Members received an overview of the circulated
report and added that the review of commissioning arrangements has
been completed. The report is published and will be coming to the Governance
and Audit Committee in July.
Audit Wales explained they are finalising the
report on the review of the Council's cyber arrangements and have recently
concluded the field work stage of the review of risk management arrangements,
both of those reports will be coming to Governance and Audit Committee in due
course.
Members asked
what the timeline was for the risk management arrangements.
Audit Wales
explained it is their intention to issue a draft report to the Council in June.
Officers explained they would try and get the report to the Committee by
September/October 2025. Members asked how long they give management to respond
to the draft report when it is issued. Audit Wales explained they have two
weeks to respond.
Members asked in
terms of the grants, is there anything that the committee should be concerned
about in terms of the time span between a grant finishing and the claim and
liability.
Audit Wales
explained that the bulk of the delays fell on Audit Wales side. There was a
delay with a number of areas of work post COVID and
some resourcing issues which have now been addressed and have caught up. Audit Wales expressed its a longer delay than they should have been given but are now in a better
position and there is no impact on terms of the funding for the grants.
RESOLVED:
That the report
be noted.
