The Committee considered a proposed process for the production of the 2012/13 Annual Governance Statement as set out in Appendix A to the report, and an update on progress against the 2011/12 AGS Action Plan as set out in Appendix B.
CIPFA/SOLACE had recently published a revised guidance note, “Delivering Good Governance in Local Government: Guidance Note for English Authorities (2012 Edition)”, intended to be used as best practice for authorities in reviewing the effectiveness of their governance arrangements. This would be reviewed and used by the Corporate Governance Group in planning and producing the Annual Governance Statement.
RESOLVED
That
(1) the process for the production of the 2012/13 Annual Governance Statement be endorsed; and
(2) the progress against the 2011/12 AGS Action Plan be noted.
