To receive the External Auditor’s letter (copy attached) which sets out the company’s fees for the 2018/19 audit. 

The Committee received a letter from the Council’s auditor, Ernst & Young,  regarding the annual audit 2018/19.  It was noted that the indicative audit fee for 2018/19 was £38,375 and that this fee did not cover the certification of the 2018/19 housing benefit subsidy claim.  The letter also advised that it was expected that the Audit Plan would be issued in December 2018. 

RESOLVED:  That the auditor’s annual audit 2018/19 letter, setting out an indicative audit fee for 2018/19, be noted.
