The report of the Head of Internal Audit & Compliance advises the Committee on the content of the Council’s Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy and notes the need for subsequent amendment in order to take account of developments in best practice since it was approved in May 2009.

The Committee considered a report regarding proposed amendments to the Council’s Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy, which had been reviewed against best practice in order to ensure that the Council had in place robust arrangements to counter the threat of loss through fraud and corruption.

RESOLVED:

1 That the proposed changes to the Council’s Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy, as set out in Appendix B of the report, be endorsed in principle;

2 That, in view of the implications for staff, the Strategy be subject to consultation with the unions before finalising the proposed amendments; and

3 That, following the consultation process, the amended Strategy be re-submitted to the Committee for consideration.
