Issue - meetings

To set out the Work Programme of the Governance and Audit Committee (report of the Democratic Services Manager enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Democratic Services Manager which set out the Work Programme of the Governance and Audit Committee.

The Democratic Services Officer introduced the report to members and highlighted the following:

• Appendix 1 at page 313 of the agenda pack listed the meetings scheduled for the current municipal year and had been populated with expected items coming forward to each meeting. The budget process tracking report, requested at agenda item 11, would be added; and
• Appendix 2 from page 317 of the agenda pack listed the training that committee members had received since the inception of the current administration in 2023. Since the last meeting, members had received training on ‘Pensions’ from Lincolnshire County Council and a separate training session had been delivered by an external provider which covered the range of aspects required for an ‘Effective Audit Committee’.

Members considered the report and made the following comments:

• Members welcomed the recent ‘Pensions’ and ‘Effective Audit Committee’ training which they found very informative in assisting in their role on the Committee.

AGREED:

That the work programme of the Governance and Audit Committee be noted.
