Appointment of Independent Members to the Independent Audit Appointment Panel

For the City Fund, the Local Audit and Accountability Act required the establishment of an Independent Auditor Appointment Panel (IAAP) to advise on the procurement process. Regulations issued under this Act included the requirement to advertise for Independent Members of the Panel and, although vacancies for external Members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee had previously been advertised, they did not include the Auditor Panel role. It had therefore been necessary to advertise for three independent Members of the IAAP and three applications had been received in response to the advertisement. These applications were from the three current external Members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee; Hilary Daniels, Kenneth Ludlam and Caroline Mawhood; the Court was consequently recommended to agree their appointment.

Resolved - That approval be given to the appointment of Hilary Daniels, Kenneth Ludlam and Caroline Mawhood to the Independent Audit Appointment Panel, with their appointments to the Panel to be co-terminus with their term of appointment to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.
