The Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Core Services introduced a report on the request from the Barking and Dagenham Trading Partnership (BDTP) to change its auditors, in line with the requirements of the Shareholder Agreement.

It was noted that BDTP wished to explore the potential benefits of changing auditors in view of performance issues being experienced with its current auditors, BDO.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Approve the Barking and Dagenham Trading Partnership’s request to change its auditors; and 

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer, or nominated deputy, the power to agree on behalf of the Cabinet the appointment of an alternative Auditor on such terms as considered to be reasonable and effective to the Council as a Shareholder.
