Minutes:

The Director of Governance introduced the report that provided the Audit and Governance Committee with an update on progress against the Annual Governance Statement Action Plan for 2023/24.

The report explained that there were 14 key actions which were colour coded, within the 2023/24 Annual Governance Action Plan and identified the specific tasks that would be undertaken in the respective areas of focus and set timescales for their completion, along with any progress up to March 24. The Action Plan also included a RAG rating to show whether the actions were on target, off target but action being taken to ensure delivery or off target and no action has yet been agreed to resolve the situation. All actions were either complete or on target except for Financial Management which would carry over into the next financial year due to the Publica review and Business Continuity Plans, where significant progress had been made but some of the proposed changes would carry over. Any actions which remained open or in progress would transfer into the new Action Plan for 24/25 which would be developed shortly and brought to the Audit and Governance Committee for sign-off.

RESOLVED that the Audit and Governance Committee AGREED to:

  1. Note the action plan and associated progress updates.
