Issue - meetings

This report details the work undertaken by the in-house resources in the Audit and Risk team and communicates a third quarter update on completion of the work plan for 2025/26.

Ms Vanessa Bateman, Deputy Head of Audit and Risk Assurance, introduced the report.

The meeting heard:

·         The Council had more staff since quarter three. Due to a backlog of cases, this allowed for a business case to have some additional resources. There were more dedicated housing resources for quarter 4 and starting into next year. These would be for historical cases. Many recoveries had been banked in quarter 3,but probably should have been in prior periods. The properties had the challenge to be put back in a condition ready to be let again.

RESOLVED:

To note the activities of the team during quarter three of 2025/26.
