Under reference to item 6 of the Minute of the meeting of the Integration Joint Board (IJB) held on 28 June 2019, the Chief Finance Officer submitted a report outlining Audit Scotland’s findings, attached as an appendix to the report, from the audit of the IJB’s financial statements for 2018/19.

The report advised that, in terms of the Local Authority Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2014, IJBs must meet to consider the annual accounts and aim to approve those accounts for signature no later than 30 September.  The IJB audited annual accounts were due to be submitted to the IJB for approval at its meeting on 20 September 2019, following this meeting of the IJB Audit Committee.

The Audit Director, Audit Scotland intimated that the IJB’s financial statements for 2018/19 had been prepared to a good standard, however, highlighted that, due to an administrative error, the required public notice for inspection and objection of the unaudited accounts had been outwith the statutory deadline of 17 June 2019. Although, this did not have any impact in this instance, it was recommended that the IJB request confirmation that this statutory requirement had been achieved in future.

DECIDED:  That the Audit Scotland reports be noted.
