Issue - meetings

The Director for Finance, Performance and Risk introduced the report which provided the work programme for the Committee, and asked Members to consider any other reports or training subjects which they would be keen to see in the near future.

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

Members observed the high number of items on the agendas of the last two of the Committee’s meetings and expressed concerns that this may lead to reduced scrutiny. Reassurance was sought that this volume of items was due to historical workflow delays.

Members were advised that this was the case, and that the next municipal year would also see an increase in the number of meetings held – which would further aid the spread of reports.

It was moved by Councillor Deering and seconded by Councillor Dunlop 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 (A) the; Finance and Audit Work Programme for the 2025/26 municipal year as outlined in the report be approves, and;

(B) that any training requirements to support Members in fulfilling their roles effectively be identified.
