Minutes:
Jo Pugh, Head of Finance and Billing introduced the report which set out the proposed external audit plan for 2024/25.
Alex Riley, External Auditor provided an overview of the audit plan noting the scope of the audit to be undertaken, the identified risks and audit responses to these and outlined materiality levels.
In response to a question regarding potential penalties if WME was unable to supply energy due to global issues, the Director explained that he would need to check specific contract details but it was typical for clauses to be included for matters such as this and therefore penalties would not apply if the inability to supply was due to widespread issues beyond their control.

1. approve the draft audit plan for 2024/25 as presented by WR Partners attached at Appendix 1.
