Minutes:

The Assistant Director: Finance and Section 151 Officer introduced his report that provided Members with a progress update on actions taken by Officers to address items of concern identified in the Annual Governance Statement for 2015/16. The report further requested that Members escalate any matters they deemed relevant.

 

The report informed that at the meeting of the Committee in September 2016 the Annual Governance Statement for 2015/16 was presented. Following discussion by Members at that time it was agreed that a standard Agenda item be added to future meetings of this Committee to provide a regular update on progress being made by Officers to address key governance issues faced by the Council and to allow Members to escalate  areas of concern where required.

 

Following discussion on the issues highlighted in Appendix 1 to the report, Members felt it appropriate that the Assistant Director: Human Resources and Organisational Development be invited to attend the next meeting of the Audit and Risk Committee in June to present a written progress update detailing the identified targets in respect of staff performance appraisals that despite continued focus remains a matter of concern. 

 

Resolved – That

 

1)  the report be noted; and

 

2)  the Assistant Director: Human Resources and Organisational Development be invited to attend the next meeting of the Audit and Risk Committee in June to present a written progress update on the subject of staff performance.
