Minutes:
The counter fraud polices have been reviewed and updated. Previously there were separate strategies for bribery and fraud, but these have been compiled and aligned with the local guidance from CIPFA
The fraud response plan had been updated which included the roles and responsibilities when reported. An update had been made to the whistleblowing policy.
The purpose of the policies are to ensure that there is confidence in all levels of the organisation if there were concerns they can be raised, and the process and actions known. The report is to be uploaded to the intranet and the website, and mandatory training to be offered to all Officers.
Decision: The report was noted.
