Issue - meetings

(a)       That the report and work undertaken by management be noted; and

(b)       That the Committee endorse the need for the Internal Audit review to provide assurance on the new procedures.

The Head of Housing was in attendance to report on the outcome of the review of the vehicle tracker system.  She explained the rationale for installing the system and events leading up to the investigation involving the co-operation of Trade Unions and reported that progress on improving controls was on track with a number of positive outcomes in moving forward with the service.

The Committee questioned the Head of Housing on the report and the issues contained within it.  The Committee sought and was given assurance that the system was operating appropriately.  The Committee was advised that an audit review of vehicle tracking was in the Audit Plan for 2012/13.  This could include the adequacy and effectiveness of the procedures put in place by management.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the report and work undertaken by management be noted; and

(b)       That the Committee endorse the need for the Internal Audit review to provide assurance on the new procedures.
