Consideration was given to a report which outlined the work of the Audit Commission in the field of fraud detection and prevention, and the identity of fraud risks, together with detailing some of the actions taken by local authorities to tackle fraud and provide links to tools to help councils improve their counter-fraud defences.
RESOLVED
(a) that the Council commits itself to fight fraud, bribery and corruption which may be perpetrated against it in accordance with the self-assessment checklist reproduced at Appendix 1 to the report; and that the Corporate Anti-Fraud Team take an active role in identifying and preventing any future fraud, bribery and corruption risks; and
(b) that the completed checklist be presented to the next meeting of the Board for information.
