Issue - meetings

The Director for Finance, Risk and Performance introduced the report, explaining that it was a statutory requirement to have an Annual Governance Statement that has reviewed the Council’s governance arrangements at least once a year as part of the Statutory Statement of Accounts.  He said that the draft version had come before Members in May 2025, and had now been updated to reflect the recommendations from the 2023/24 Completion and Annual Audit Reports as seen earlier on the agenda.

The Chair thanked the Director for Finance, Risk and Performance for the report.

There were no questions from the Committee. 

It was moved by Councillor Deering and seconded by Councillor Williamson that that the recommendations, as detailed, be approved. After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, this motion was declared CARRIED. 

RESOLVED – that the Final Annual Governance Statement for 2024/25 be reviewed and any comments given.
