To submit a report by the Chair of the Governance and Audit Committee, as presented to the Governance and Audit Committee on 29 June 2023.

It was unanimously RESOLVED to approve the Annual Report of the Governance and Audit Committee for 2022/2023.

The report of the Head of Function (Resources)/Section 151 Officer as submitted to the  Governance and Audit Committee on 29 June, 2023 was presented for the Council’s acceptance.

The Annual Report of the Governance and Audit Committee for 2022/2023 was presented by Mr Dilwyn Evans, Chair of the Governance and Audit Committee.

The Chair of the Governance and Audit Committee said that the Committee is a key component of the Council’s governance framework.  Its function is to provide an independent and high-level resource to support good governance and strong public financial management. He noted that the Annual Report documents refer as to how the Committee has discharged its responsibilities in 2022/2023 for the purpose of reporting to those charged with governance i.e. the County Council.  The Governance and Audit Committee role seeks assurance that internal control systems of the Council are working and risks are effectively managed, rather than the actual scrutiny of activities. 

It was unanimouslyRESOLVED to approve the Annual Report of the Governance and Audit Committee for 2022/2023.
