Minutes:
The committee considered the report in the agenda (copy attached to the official minutes).
The following issues were added to the work programme for 2017-18:
· Refresh of the Corporate Debt Policy and the new Write-Off Policy to 30 June 2017
· Strategic Risks Update to 29 March 2018
Mrs Belenger advised that from 2018 there would be a requirement to approve the audited accounts by July 2018. This year the team was having a dry run to finalise the accounts by 31 May which would be for real in 2018.
The committee currently meets five times per year. Discussions had been held with the Chairman to propose reducing this to four times a year from 2017-18 to meet the requirements in the corporate governance statement as follows:
End July – to review the audited accounts
October – to consider the Financial Strategy
December/January – to consider the Treasury Management Strategy and the Budget
March – to consider the Strategic Risk Register
RESOLVED
1) That the committee’s 2017-18 work programme be approved.
