Decision details

The Full Council was asked to approve a revised Code of Corporate Governance for the County Council which had been considered by the Audit and Governance Committee on 30 June 2016.

It was noted that Full Council in July 2015 had approved a new Code of Corporate Governance for the County Council and an Action Plan for 2015/16 which was based on the current guidance at that time.  Full Council also agreed that the Code would be reviewed on an annual basis.  The Full Council was informed that new guidance had been published earlier this year and as a consequence the Code of Corporate Governance had been updated to reflect the changes.

Resolved:  That the revised Code of Corporate Governance, as set out at appendix 'A' to the report now presented be approved.
