Decision:
That the Committee is assured that the Council is taking appropriate steps to counter the risk of fraud.
Minutes:
The Internal Audit Manager presented the report which summarised the outcome of the national review by Audit Wales on counter-fraud arrangements within the Welsh Public Sector.
In response to the recommendations for improvement across public sector organisations in Wales, the Council had developed an action plan on which progress was underway to enhance counter-fraud arrangements. A programme of work to engage with departments across the organisation would help to formulate a risk assessment on counter-fraud which could inform future audit work.
The Internal Audit Manager responded to a question from Sally Ellis on her perception of fraud within the organisation which was based on actual supporting evidence.
The recommendation was moved by Councillor Geoff Collett and seconded by Sally Ellis.
RESOLVED:
That the Committee is assured that the Council is taking appropriate steps to counter the risk of fraud.
