The relevant authority must notify the auditor of its decision and publish a notice summarising the decision (and this must be on its website if it has one). The notice can exclude decisions that were made in the meeting while the public were excluded for protection of public interest (under section 1(2) of the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960), confidential matters (under section 100A(2) of the Local Government Act 1972) or exempt information (under section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972). The notice must also specify if there are any documents that are available for inspection.
