Subject: Freedom of Information request - Audit Committee Annual/External
Reviews

Dear Wrexham County Borough Council,

CIPFA Guidance on Local Authority Audit Committees states that
“Recommended practice is for audit committees to review and assess
themselves annually or to seek an external review.”

We realise that the committee with audit related responsibilities are not
always called ‘Audit Committee’. Please can you confirm what the title of
this committee is within your local authority and answer the following
questions in relation to that committee.

a) Internal Annual Review of Audit Committee
For each of the last five financial years please provide me with a copy of
the audit committee’s annual review of its work. Please state the date the
review was published and how it was made public at the time.

b) External Review of Audit Committee
Please confirm the most recent date that an external review of the audit
committee was sought, who undertook that review, when and where it was
published and provide a copy of the review.

Yours faithfully,
Megan Waugh
