Decision:
That the updated Code of Corporate Governance be adopted as part of the Council’s Constitution.
Minutes:
The Chief Officer (Governance) presented the revised Code of Corporate Governance for adoption as part of the Council’s Constitution, following endorsement by the Audit Committee.
The revised principles of the Code had been used in self-assessments which would form the basis of the Annual Governance Statement to accompany the Statement of Accounts.
Councillor Peers said that paragraph 1.01 of the report should have set out the full consultation process. He also pointed out that some of the links in section A of the Code did not work and that contact details of the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales could not be found on the Council’s website. The Chief Officer agreed to look into this.
RESOLVED:
That the updated Code of Corporate Governance be adopted as part of the Council’s Constitution.
