The Committee considered the report of the Director of Resources that reported  progress with regard to recommendations raised by Internal Audit for the years 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19.

Mr Greg Rubins, Head of Internal Audit at Bider Dijke Otte (BDO) took the Committee through the report. He informed Members that the situation was positive with 48 high and medium recommendations out of 68 now implemented. Of the remaining 20, there were 2 not due yet and 7 formed part of the Future Model programme.

He provided a brief update on the Safe and Clean environment report around street cleaning and waste contracts, clarifying that 2 recommendations were in progress and 2 were not due yet. He assured Members that this would be completed by the next Committee, alongside the other outstanding work, as management initiatives had been prompt in response to recommendations raised.

The Chairman put the recommendation to the Committee and it was agreed.

RESOLVED that Members considered the progress to date against these recommendations.
