Decision

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Audit and Risk Committee held on 25 June 2026 be confirmed and signed as an accurate record, subject to the following amendments:

-          Minute 11.2 be amended to record that the Committee wished to see any prompts used in the generation of reports included within future reports, and for any use of AI to be clearly identified alongside a justification for its use.

-          Minute 11.3 be amended to reflect the Committee’s resolution to recommend the removal of references to innovative AI from the vision statement, the audit strategy, and accordingly from the strategic initiatives and target measures. The Committee noted that this was not intended to constitute a ban on the use of AI, but rather a recommendation that any use of AI should be justified following a sceptical critique of quantitative evidence rather than in pursuit of a target in the vision strategy.

-          The attendance record be amended to include the co-opted members present. 

-          A standing agenda item be included after the minutes to record actions and provide updates on those actions.
