Herefordshire Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50475614 (19 August 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested a copy of an audit report which KPMG produced on behalf of the council. After initially being provided with a copy of the report the complainant asked the council to provide her with a copy which included recommendations which she understood that KMPG had included with the report. The council then provided a copy of a report to the complainant which included recommendations, but clarified that this was a draft report. It said that the final report did not include any recommendations. The complainant wrote back to the council stating that the recommendations which had been provided to her as part of the draft report did not match recommendations which KPMG had described to her as being included in the report. She states that KPMG verbally described the recommendations to her over the telephone. The council however confirmed that the recommendations disclosed to her were the recommendations which it received from KPMG with the draft report. Having received assurances from the council that the information it disclosed was the correct information the Commissioner-™s decision is that, on a balance of probabilities, the council has provided the complainant with the information falling within the scope of her request. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
