Agenda item

The HoA updated the Committee.

The Council took a strong stance against fraud and, as part of its strategy, all policies were reviewed annually to take into account any change in working systems within the Council as well as legislation. Most of the changes made related to whistleblowing and anti-bribery policies. Papers circulated to the Committee contained tracked changes to enable Committee members to see where adjustments had been made.

The Counter Fraud Policies were shared with Legal, HR and the Trade Unions as well as being published on the Council’s intranet following approval by the Committee.

The Committee noted the report.
