Decision details

The Committee considered the Audit Recommendation Tracker report by the Chief Executive in respect of actions taken to address internal and external audit recommendations (circulated previously).

The Committee noted the following updates:

·         Table A detailed the 20 live recommendations.

·         Table B detailed the recommendation completed since the last meeting of the Committee.

·         Table C detailed 2 recommendations for which time extensions were being requested. It was noted that each was now at 80% completion and it just remained for them to be presented to the Managers’ Forum (18^th September 2019).

In response to a question from the Committee, the Chief Executive advised that the Council had previously had a dedicated Equalities Officer.  Following cutbacks this post had not been replaced.  The works had now been assigned to the Corporate and Community Services Team.

RESOLVED that:

(a)          the actions completed since the 22nd July 2019 Committee meeting be noted;

(b)          time extension be granted for those recommendations as listed in table C; and

(c)          the Audit Recommendation Tracker be noted.
