Recommendation Tracker

Meeting: 17/09/2007 - Audit Board (this committee has been combined with the Audit, Standards & Governance Committee and no longer meets) (Item 18)

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report which provided a summary of audit report "priority one" recommendations. The Committee was asked to review the recommendations, to highlight those that it felt required following up and to agree any necessary action and reporting process.

The Audit Services Manager advised that the Recommendation Tracker would be a rolling programme, with those recommendations which were subsequently implemented by Heads of Service and Managers being removed from this and new priorities added. Members noted that within the Audit Board's Procedure Rules the Board could require any senior officer to appear before it to provide an explanation on a matter within their remit, which might ultimately prove necessary where an officer had delayed implementation of a recommendation which the Board felt would improve control within any systems and processes.

RESOLVED that the "priority one" recommendations detailed at Appendix A to the report be noted and that an update report detailing the current positions in relation to all of the recommendations be provided at the next meeting of the Board.
