Agenda item

The Committee received an update from the Corporate Director of Resources on the progress on implementation of the Action Plan from the agreed recommendations for improving control weaknesses incorporated in the External Auditor’s 2011/12 Interim and Final Governance Reports (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Assistant Finance Manager, Strategic Finance informed Members that the Action Plan continues to be monitored through the Performance Framework and was very positive.  The migration of housing dwellings for Durham City was now included in the live system at CIPFA as a single asset register, and it was expected to sign off at an early stage this year.  He gave an assurance to the Committee that the Accounts could be closed as the risks had now been removed.

Resolved:-

That the report be noted.
