Report of the Chief Executive

Implementation Date (not before meeting on)
Wed 18 Oct 2023
Purpose

On Friday 29th September 2023, the Council’s External Auditors Grant Thornton issued Statutory Recommendations to the Council under Schedule 7 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014. These recommendations are contained with the report titled ‘Birmingham City Council External Audit 2020-21 to 2023-24’ and can be found within Appendix 1.

 

The report presented for discussion at Full Council on 12th October 2023 is attached as Appendix 2

 

 

That report addresses the twelve statutory recommendations contained within the External Auditors report. Within this paper the Council outlines the steps that will be taken against each of the recommendations, identifies accountable owners for delivery of these steps both from an Officer and Member perspective, and then provides an overarching recommendation to accept and acknowledge the recommendations issued by the External Auditors.

 

Delivery against these recommendations is crucial for financial sustainability and effective governance for Birmingham City Council. The issues raised within the External Auditor’s report are significant enough to have caused them to use their statutory powers. Addressing these recommendations will re-affirm a basis for sound financial management and effective governance within the Council and provide a platform from which we can address the broader challenges facing the Council and City as a whole.
