Minutes:
The Committee considered the report of the Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services informing Members of the revised guidance issued by the Chartered Institute for Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) relating to the terms of reference for audit committees, shown at Appendix 2 to the report and seeking views on the appropriateness of any changes that should be made to Sefton Council’s Audit and Governance Committee Terms of Reference in line with CIPFA guidance.
The Chief Legal and Democratic Officer presented the report and indicated that a comparison of CIPFA’s revised Terms of Reference showed no material difference except in relation to Committee Size and Membership; Tenure of Membership; Co-opted Independent Member; and Standards and requested that the Committee consider whether Terms of Reference for Sefton Council’s Audit and Governance Committee should be amended.
RESOLVED: That
|

the report be noted and it be agreed that no changes be made to the Audit and Governance Committee’s Terms of Reference in relation to Committee Size and Membership; Tenure of Membership; and Standards; and
|
|
(2) |
the Terms of Reference be amended to allow for the appointment of one Independent Member and reviewed after 12 months.
