The External Audit Manager from Grant Thornton introduced this report which detailed the plan for the external audit of the Fund’s statutory financial statements for 2022/23. During the summer Grant Thornton would undertake their audit of the relevant financial activities and provide verification of the Pension Fund’s financial statements. The results of this audit would be reported back to the Committee.

Members sought clarification on significant risks identified and were reassured that none were unique to Merseyside Pension Fund.

Resolved – That the external audit plan for 2022/23 as prepared by Grant Thornton be noted.
