Procuring major events and responses to the TfL cyber-attack

Since their July 2024 report, EY, the external auditors of the GLA Group have made the following change: 

• In light of the cyber-attack on TfL, the audit team will be required to “evaluate the effects of the attack on the scope of [their] work and reporting requirements” and the overall reporting timeline is likely to be delayed as limited system access hampered the GLA finance team’s ability to respond to audit requests.

Tomorrow, the London Assembly Audit Panel will examine the GLA External Audit Status Report and the Corporate Risk Register, both of which contain responses to the TfL cyber-attack. The Panel will also discuss the Register of Gifts and Hospitality and the procurement exercise for the New Year’s Eve fireworks event.

The guests are:

• Stephen Reid, Partner, EY
• Chloe Wilkinson, Audit Senior Manager, EY
• Enver Enver, Interim Chief Finance Officer, GLA
• Fay Hammond, Chief Finance Officer, GLA
• David Esling, Head of Audit Assurance - Risk Management, MOPAC
• Mark Woodley, Group Audit Lead, MOPAC
• Karen Welsh, Senior Risk and Assurance Auditor, MOPAC
• Dianne Tranmer, Executive Director Corporate Resources & Business Improvement, GLA

The meeting will take place on Thursday, 17 October 2024 from 2pm, in the Chamber at City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, E16 1ZE.

Media and members of the public are invited to attend.

The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube.
