To agree the annual governance statement 2018/19.

The chief finance officer presented the report and highlighted:

·         The annual governance statement (AGS) was a living document

·         This was the final version for 2018/19.

·         The draft had been published on the council’s website and this version reflected changes since March 2019.  

·         The opinion on the AGS from the external auditor would be added to the statement now that it had been received.  

·         The ongoing governance review of health partnership boards did not have a date for completion and this would be communicated to the committee 

RESOLVED

That the annual governance statement 2018/19 be approved.
