Report by the Chief Executive (attached).

The Committee considered the Audit Recommendation Tracker report by the Chief Executive in respect of actions taken to address internal and external audit recommendations (circulated previously).

The Committee noted the following updates:

·       34 recommendations had been included in table B  (recommendations completed since the last meeting of the Governance Committee)

·       Table C detailed 13 recommendations for which time extensions were being requested.  Many of these were requested in order to coincide with the service plans

·       Table D detailed 7 outstanding recommendations. These needed to be closed off of the report, as completed, or have extensions requested.  H&S 05 and CSM&R 15 would be completed prior to the next meeting. SC19 O 03 had been completed. 

·       Recommendations in Table E (Annual Governance Statement) included a mix or recommendations requiring extensions, and those completed.

RESOLVED:

(a)           That the time extensions requested in the Audit Recommendation Tracker be approved;

(b)           Table D be updated for the next meeting of the Committee; and

(c)           That the Audit Recommendation Tracker be noted.
