Issue - meetings

The Director of Finance and Support Services submitted a report detailing the proposed work programme for the Audit Committee.

The Chairman advised that there was a training item included on the work programme for each of the five scheduled meetings of the Committee.  Members were requested to inform the Chairman of any ideas for appropriate training.

The Director of Finance and Support Services advised that a possible area for training was the Single Fraud Investigation Service.  The Government had created a single service with statutory powers to investigate and sanction all benefit and tax credit offences, which would combine relevant resources across Local Authorities, HM Revenues and Customs, and the Department of Works and Pensions.

Members approved the work programme as now detailed.

RESOLVED – that the work programme, as now detailed, be approved.
