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:

·         Table A detailed the ten live recommendations.

·         Table B confirmed that two recommendations had been completed since the last meeting of the Committee.
