Governance & Audit Committee Self-Assessment - Action Plan - Mid Year Review

Additional documents:

Decision:

That having considered the action plan, the Committee supports the following:

· Regular meetings with the Leader and Deputy Leaders of the Council.

· Specific reference to the Committee taking a long term view on financial sustainability to be included in the action plan.

· A six monthly report to be scheduled on the Transformation programme.

Minutes:

The Internal Audit, Performance & Risk Manager presented a report (agenda item 10) with a detailed action plan to support the results of the Committee’s self-assessment.

In response to comments on Annual Report/Accountability, the Internal Audit, Performance & Risk Manager said that meetings with the new Council Leader and Deputy Leaders would be reinstated.

In respect of the Committee’s role, it was suggested that the action plan could include specific reference to the view given by Audit Wales on the Committee taking a longer term view on financial sustainability. Officers would also ensure that the Committee’s co-opted members would be invited to budget workshops to be scheduled following receipt of the Provisional Local Government Settlement.

Whilst progress on the Transformation programme would be reported to the Corporate Resources Overview & Scrutiny Committee, it was agreed that a high-level report on long term financial planning would be scheduled on the forward work programme to update this Committee on a six monthly basis.

On that basis, the recommendation was supported.

RESOLVED:
