Annual Audit Letter

The annual audit letter is issued each year by Deloitte & Touche, the Council’s external auditors. The Code of Audit Practice requires them to summarise to the Members the scope, nature and extent of the work they have carried out during the year in the following areas:

  • auditing the accounts
  • financial aspects of corporate governance
  • performance management

In the audit they summarise their opinions or conclusions, and raise any matters of substance or key significant issues arising from their work that they believe should be brought to Members' attention. This year, for the first time, there is a legal requirement for the letter to be published.
