Report by Mazars

The Committee gave consideration to a report which presented the Audit Strategy Memorandum for Argyll and Bute Council for the year ending 31 March 2024.  The report provided a summary of the audit approach taken by external auditors, Mazars LLP and highlighted significant audit risks and areas of key judgements.

Discussion was had in relation to the delays experienced in the last year, particularly in relation to meeting statutory deadlines.  The concerns of Members were noted with Mr Outterside and Mr Odour confirming arrangements are in place to ensure that timescales are more aligned to the statutory deadlines going forward. 

Decision

The Audit and Scrutiny Committee considered and noted the contents of the report.
