The Head of Financial Services and Acting Section 151 Officer presented his report which indicated that the Pensions Committee at its meeting held on earlier in that evening 28 September 2015 (Minute 35 refers) had approved the Merseyside Pension Fund (MPF) Statement of Accounts 2014/2015, having considered the Audit Findings Report and Letter of Representation.

The MPF Accounts formed part of the Council’s overall Statement of Accounts and the Audit Findings Report for Merseyside Pension Fund (see Minute 26 ante) had indicated that an unqualified opinion would be issued and that the accounts presented fairly the financial position of the Fund as at 31 March 2015. The accounts would now form the basis of the MPF Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2015.

Resolved – That the report be noted and the Letter of Representation be approved.
