Minutes:

The chief Executive, Director of Finance, assets and IT and Director of Legal and Governance submitted a joint report providing an updated action plan relating to the issues identified following the Annual Governance Review.

 

The report, which was presented by the Risk and Governance Manager included an Action Plan and was originally considered with the Annual Governance Statement by this Committee at its meeting held on the 20th July, 2016.

 

The Risk and Governance Manager commented on the current position for all actions within the plan which had been updated, with revised timescales where appropriate. In addition, one action point had been closed relating to issues around officer delegations.

 

The Director of Legal and Governance commented that the report and action plan gave reassurance in relation to issues around business continuity and recognised the need to close the gap in certain areas.  It was hoped that a further report on this would be submitted in the near future. 

 

It was also reported that a corporate issue relating to non-compliance with Contract Procedure Rules and the overall adequacy of the Contract Management Arrangements was being closely monitored by the Senior Management Team.

 

RESOLVED that the update on progress in delivering actions in the Annual Governance Statement action plan be received.
