RESOLVED that the 2024/25 Audit Plan be approved.
[NOTE: Councillors E. Williams, C. Weaver, P. Lewis, E. Hywel, N. Yeowell and M. Lewis had earlier declared an interest in this item.] The Joint Governance Committee (JGC) was presented with an audit plan by Audit Wales - the Wales Pension Partnership's (WPP) external auditors, outlining the work to be undertaken to audit the 2024/25 Annual Return per the auditors' statutory responsibilities and to fulfil their obligations under the Code of Audit Practice. The plan outlines the fee, audit team and the timetable of work. The JGC's attention was drawn to the main points of the plan, which included noting that the audit team had remained unchanged from last year's audit, how the proposed fee for 2024/25 had increased by 1.7% in line with this year's Audit Wales' fee rates and intention to complete the audit of the Annual Return by the end of July 2025. UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that the 2024/25 Audit Plan be approved.
[NOTE: Councillors E. Williams, C. Weaver, P. Lewis, E. Hywel, N. Yeowell and M. Lewis had earlier declared an interest in this item.] Although approved by the JGC on March 12th 2025, the JGC received a revised version of the 2025-28 WPP Business Plan for approval in accordance with Section 6 of the Inter-Authority Agreement. The plan was presented to the JGC to reflect the revisions made to capture the design and enabling costs of Project Snowdon. Following its approval by the JGC, the revised Business Plan will be sent to all constituent authorities for their written approval. The JGC was reminded that the purpose of the business plan is to: • Explain the background and governance structure of the WPP • Outline the priorities and objectives of the WPP over the next three years • Introduce the WPP’s policies and plans • Outline the financial budget for the relevant Business Plan period • Summarise the WPP’s Investments & Performance Objectives This plan will be continually monitored for the duration of this year and is formally reviewed and agreed upon annually. The presenting officer noted that a summary of the revision to include Project Snowdon within the Business Plan could be found on Page 37 of the agenda pack for the committee to review. UNANIMOUSLY resolved that the revised 2025-28 WPP Business Plan will be sent to all eight Constituent Authorities for written approval.
