This Statement forms part of the council’s 2009-10 year accounts and is submitted for review by the Committee

Michael Sloniowski, Principal Risk Consultant, introduced the report, which set out the Annual Governance Statement, which, as part of an annual process, assessed the appropriateness of internal operations and controls, and outlined them in the Statement itself. The process was thorough, and matters arising from it had been discussed with relevant officers.

With regards to questions regarding Business Continuity, Michael Sloniowski said that the planning and procedure elements had now been completed, but the implementation of technical solutions- better mirroring systems, for example- would take longer to implement. Jane West agreed to circulate to the Committee the detailed timetable.

RESOLVED THAT

The contents of the statement be agreed.
