Minutes:
The Head of Strategic Finance submitted a report setting out the measures made in the 2015/16 Annual Governance Statement and the progress made against implementation set out within the Action plan. Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ of the report submitted provided a summary of what actions needed to be undertaken before confirmation could be given that adequate and effective controls were fully in place.
The Head of Strategic Finance advised Members that recent welfare changes had led to an increase in enquiries and this had resulted in a staffing cost overspend. The Head emphasised that a review of the use of agency staff as opposed to permanently employed Officers would help to ensure that staffing costs remained within budget.
Members received the report.
RESOLVED – that the progress made against implementing the action plan contained in the 2015/16 Annual Governance Statement, be noted.
