Appointment of External Auditor To note: Members may recall that the Authority opted into the national auditor appointment arrangements run by Public Sector Audit Appointments (PSSA). PSAA has now concluded the process to secure an external auditor for the Authority and confirmed the decision earlier this month. Mazars LLP will be the Authority’s external auditor from 2023-24 to 2027-28 (5 years). Grant Thornton will complete the audit of the accounts for 2022-23 with Mazars taking over after that. |
