Issue - decisions

The Anti-Fraud and Corruption Policy was presented to the Executive for adoption on 16 May 2024. At the meeting, the submitted version of the Policy was unable to clearly demonstrate that the recommendations of the Corporate Governance and Standards Committee meeting held on 11 April 2024 had been incorporated. Consequently, the Executive resolved that consideration of the adoption of the Anti-Fraud & Corruption Policy and associated policies be referred to the Leader of the Council for determination in consultation with Executive members and the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Standards Committee. A tracked changed version of the report was referred to the Leader and consultees for consideration on 20 May 2024.

Following this consultation, the Leader of the Council has resolved to adopt the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Policy and associated policies on behalf of the council.
