Assembly - Wednesday, 25 February 2026 7:00 pm

Audit and Risk Committee - Wednesday, 18 February 2026 7:00 pm
The Audit and Risk Committee meeting on 18 February 2026 focused on the external audits of the Council's and Pension Fund's accounts for the 2024/25 and 2023/24 financial years. Grant Thornton, the external auditor, presented their findings, highlighting a disclaimer of opinion for both the Council and the Pension Fund for the 2023/24 financial year due to significant limitations in obtaining sufficient audit evidence, particularly concerning opening balances and historic issues. For the 2024/25 accounts, while audit fieldwork was substantially completed, a disclaimer of opinion is still anticipated for the Council due to outstanding procedures and historic issues, but a more positive outlook is noted for the Pension Fund, with the possibility of moving away from a disclaimer opinion in the next financial year.

The Assembly also unanimously supported a motion calling for action on contaminated land and the adoption of Zane's Law.
