This report presents the Committee with its rolling annual Work Programme.

The Committee received its rolling annual Work Programme.

The following matters were considered:

a)    Changes to Work Programme: The Committee noted the changes to the work programme as reported by the Assistant Director of Corporate Services and the Internal Auditor which included:

·       The External Audit update was on the agenda for this meeting so would be removed from the next meeting.

·       The September item of External Audit Update and 2025-26 Plan to be reworded to External Audit Findings Report and Auditors' Annual Report.

·       The July 2026 meeting will include the Internal Audit Annual Conclusion and 2025-26 Plan.  There will not be a progress report as this would be included in the conclusion report.

b)    Call-In Decision: A Member sought an update and clarification on Community and Wellbeing Committee deferred decision. Following call-in to Audit and Scrutiny Committee a decision sheet was published.  Did this decision stand and should it stay published. The Principal Solicitor undertook to seek a response following the meeting.

c)    Urgent Decisions listing: The item on urgent decisions listed for the July meeting should refer to the February meeting and not the March meeting.  This would be amended.

d)    Urgent Items Report: A Member spoke about the slippage of some items due to officer resource going to Community Governance Review and requested that the July item on urgent items not be delayed.

Following consideration, it was unanimously resolved to:

(1)       Note and agree the ongoing Work Programme as presented in Section 2.
