Audit Assurance
Councils are reviewing their audit assurance levels and progress in financial oversight.
In October 2026, Havering Council's Audit Committee discussed progress in rebuilding audit assurance after historic disclaimed opinions, noting that improvements are being made. Waltham Forest Council's meeting in October 2026 also noted the Audit & Governance Committee Annual Report 2025-26 as part of its financial management review.
No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss audit assurance, which refers to the level of confidence in the accuracy and reliability of financial statements and internal controls. Earlier in March 2026, Barking and Dagenham Council's Audit and Risk Committee discussed the progress of its 2025/26 audits and approved its internal audit charter and strategy.
