Agenda item

That (A) the budgetary variances detailed in paragraph 2.1 of the report be noted; and

(B)     the ICT performance indicators, as detailed in Essential Reference Paper ‘G’ of the report submitted, be monitored as part of the Corporate Healthcheck in 2013/14.

Consideration was given to an exception report on the finance and performance monitoring for February and March 2013.  The Leader advised that the end year position had indicated a net underspend of £1.8m and detailed the major variances.  He further advised that, whilst noting some windfall items, the Executive Member for Finance and the Director of Finance and Support Services were working hard on preparing more realistic budgets in order to minimise variances.

The Executive approved the proposals as now detailed.

RESOLVED - that (A) the budgetary variances detailed in paragraph 2.1 of the report be noted; and

(B)      the ICT performance indicators, as detailed in Essential Reference Paper ‘G’ of the report submitted, be monitored as part of the Corporate Healthcheck in 2013/14.
