Issue - meetings

The Audit Manager introduced the item.

The CIPFA and SOLACE framework had been used for the governance review. Several actions were planned to address governance weakness. Members raised concerns at the Member-Officer protocol not being agreed. The Committee asked for update reports on planned actions.

It was proposed by Councillor Morgan and seconded by Councillor Jeffries that the Committee recommends to Council that the Annual Governance Statement is approved.

A vote was taken – all were in favour.

Resolved that the Committee recommends to Council that the Annual Governance Statement is approved.

The Committee also noted the Audit team were in the process of recruiting an independent member and that a glossary of terms would be attached to future agendas.
