Issue - meetings

To consider progress made in implementing key actions to ensure that arrangements are in place to protect the Council against the threat of fraud.

Consideration was given to progress in implementing key actions to ensure arrangements were in place to protect the Council against the threat of fraud.  At its meeting in September 2012 the Committee had considered the findings of a review of the Council’s arrangements against ‘Fighting Fraud Locally’.  An action plan had now been produced and this report provided Members with an update on progress in implementing key actions in order to provide assurance that appropriate arrangements were in place to protect the Council against the threat of fraud.

Members welcomed the action plan and requested that an annual fraud report be submitted to the Committee on an annual basis.

RESOLVED

That the report be noted and that an annual fraud report be submitted to the Committee on an annual basis.
