Minutes:
The Head of Finance and Risk at Merseyside Pension Fund presented a report which highlighted the key findings and other matters arising from Grant Thornton’s external audit of the financial statements of Merseyside Pension Fund for the year ended 31 March 2022. It was noted that the report was updated to include further work undertaken since it was presented at Pensions Committee in September 2022, and was to be considered at a meeting of the Audit and Risk Management Committee in 2023. Subject to the satisfactory completion of the outstanding audit work, it was anticipated that Grant Thornton’s audit opinion would be unqualified.
Members discussed in detail aspects of the Audit findings, whilst the Board placed on record their thanks to the Head of Finance and Risk, her team and the wider staff at Merseyside Pension Fund for work undertaken.
Resolved – That the report provided by the external auditor Grant Thornton be noted.
