Decision:

That the Annual Governance Statement attached to the Statement of Accounts be approved.

Minutes:

The Democracy & Governance Manager introduced a report to consider and approve the draft Annual Governance Statement (AGS) for 2013/14.

 

In response to comments previously made at the Committee, preparation of the AGS for 2013/14 had enabled a greater degree of involvement by Members, including circulation of a questionnaire to all Overview & Scrutiny Committee Chairs.  In addition, an informal meeting of the Audit Committee had been held to consider the draft AGS, where Members’ views had been sought.

 

As an action from the AGS for 2012/13, the Chief Executive said that work had been undertaken to review Section 5 of the AGS and asked if the Committee was satisfied that this was now better aligned to the corporate risk register in the Improvement Plan.  The Committee supported the recommendations of the report.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Annual Governance Statement attached to the Statement of Accounts be approved.
