Minutes:

The Governance Committee received a report of the Deputy Director of Finance and Section 151 Officer presenting the draft statement of accounts for 2019/2020 and advising on the statutory requirements and role of Members.

 

A Member training session on the accounts is to be arranged before the accounts are finalised.

 

Following a Member enquiry about the Expenditure and Funding Analysis surplus on page 18 of the report, confirmation was provided that the transfer was planned to be made from a reserve and that there was not a charge for the year. 

 

A query was made about the reference to the corporate risk register not being monitored.  It was reported that corporate risks had been identified but not monitored due to attention being drawn to other matters.  This is one of the issues being taken forward through the Annual Governance Statement Action Plan.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the report be noted.
