Commentary Part 5 – Conduct of Local Audit Paragraph 8: Publicity for meetings
95.This paragraph sets out the arrangements that a relevant authority must follow in publicising meetings to consider public interest reports and auditors’ recommendations. The relevant authority must publish a notice at least 8 days before the meeting specifying the time and location of the meeting; that the meeting is to discuss a public interest report or auditor recommendation; and the subject matter (the full recommendation should be included if reasonably practicable). When the authority’s members are sent the agenda for the meeting, this must be accompanied by a copy of the public interest report or recommendation.
