Meetings in April 2024

Audit Committee - Tuesday, 23rd April, 2024 6.30 p.m. - 23 April 2024

Councillor Ahmodur Khan addressed the council's supportive response to a consultation on proposals for addressing the local audit backlog. He provided context on Tower Hamlets Council's external audit position, mentioning efforts to accelerate account production and compromises made due to time constraints, as well as the upcoming work with new auditors EY and the expectation of modified opinions on outstanding accounts.

Councillor Khan raised several questions regarding the audit process. He inquired about the tight timetable for signing off accounts and the implications of not meeting it, particularly concerning Deloitte's inherited work from KPMG and the handover to EY. He also questioned the financial implications, asking about the costs of additional resourcing and potential liabilities if certificates are not issued.

I have two questions. First, to Deloitte, that's an extraordinarily tight timetable that I see you have no option but to go for it. What's the implications if it isn't met and sort of connected to that is being mindful of the situation that Deloitte inherited from the previous auditors KPMG and the additional work required to get to an agreed state. Is this something that's been incorporated in or will be incorporated to the handover to EY or are they just going to be left holding a bag of eels? That was it. Yeah. What if we don't make it? What's the impact? And also, can we sort of.

He further questioned the finance team's capacity to respond to queries within the tight timeline and the need for additional resourcing.

The first thing I wanted to pick up on, and I know you alluded to it slightly just now, is the program timetable in order to get this signed off. Our officers had sight of it. Are you confident that this can meet the target? That's the first thing, because we've got three years of accounts and we've literally got like five months ahead of us. And if there are any questions or queries that come back, are we reinforced enough in terms of capacity to respond to that in time and vice versa on the other side as well? So how resources are we on both sides? You've said you've got enough capacity in there. I'm wanting to find out from the finance team. Also, in terms of costs, is there further additional costs for that additional resourcing? And do we need additional resourcing in order to meet that tight timeline? And lastly, if, for whatever happens, these certificates are not issued, are we still liable to pay money for services rendered? What are the risks associated with that? So just one needed explanations of that, or how is that calculated?

Finally, he sought clarification on the next steps regarding the RFQ system and expenditure, and whether an action plan exists to differentiate genuine errors from deliberate breaches of rules.

Can you just go through the process of what's going to happen next to it. Because obviously there's quite a large amount of expenditure is exposed to it. My experiences, officers will, these schemes can be pretty burdensome and the databases are often quite unfriendly. People are keen to get their work done and there are often some quite practical reasons for why there is non-compliance. I don't, is there an action plan that goes further than this so that we can understand where there are genuine errors that could be that people could overcome through training or, and that would also help us to understand when there is more deliberate breaching of the rules because I'm not seeing that in these summary of recommendations. So if you could help me on the process of what's going to happen next to it.
