The Sub-Committee reviewed the External Auditor’s annual plan arrangements for 2012-13. These were very similar to previous years. Janet Dawson outlined some of the significant risks that had been identified, including valuation of investment properties – a Member commented that with internet shopping putting pressure on traditional retail it would be useful to have a view on this. Ms Dawson commented that they would need to take specialist advice on this, but would be looking for rigorous process. In response to a question about public health, she confirmed that they would look at the preparations for public health transferring fully to Council control.

RESOLVED that the External Auditor’s arrangements for the Annual Audit Plan 2012-13 be noted and the proposed de minimis level of £500,000 for reporting of differences and misstatements to committee be approved.
