CAB 67/17 

Wales Audit Office Certificate of Compliance 2

Options Considered/Reasons for Decision

The Leader presented the Certificate of Compliance, which was issued by the Wales Audit Office (WAO) following an audit of the council’s Improvement Plan Review.  This was the second of two certificates that the authority had achieved in 2017-18.  The first certificate was considered at Cabinet in November and was issued following an audit of the Improvement Plan 2016-18. 

In issuing the certificate, the Auditor General determined that the council had met its duties in regard to the Local Government Measure 2009.  The report also noted that the council had addressed a previous comment from the WAO that more detail on national comparator data should be used in its assessment of performance.

Decision:

To note the positive outcome of the second Certificate of Compliance in relation to the council’s Improvement Plan Annual Review.
