PURPOSE  \nTo provide Audit Committee with an update on the authority’s progress against the Wales Audit Office (WAO) proposals for improvement up to June 2017.  \n2. RECOMMENDATIONS  \nThat members consider the current position of proposals and future actions being taken in response and identify any areas where they feel further action is needed.  \n3. KEY ISSUES  \n3.1 Each year Wales Audit Office undertake a Performance Audit work programme with the Council. The reports issued by WAO as a result of this work programme are able to make the following interventions for areas that are deemed as requiring improvement:  \n􀁸 proposals for improvement – if proposals are made to the Council WAO would expect Council to do something about them and will follow up what happens;  \n􀁸 formal recommendations for improvement – if a formal recommendation is made, the Council must prepare a response to that recommendation within  \n􀁸 30 working days;  \n􀁸 conduct a special inspection, and publish a report and make recommendations; and  \n􀁸 recommend to Ministers of the Welsh Government that they intervene in some way.  \n3.2 The proposals included in the report, appendix 1, are those issued to the Council asa result of the Performance Audit regulatory work conducted by the WAO in the authority. There are no statutory recommendations contained within this update , the update contains lower-priority issues, known as proposals for improvement. Recommendations from the Safeguarding arrangements – Kerbcraft scheme report have been reported separately to Council.  \n3.3 This update contains proposals received since the Corporate Assessment completed by Wales Audit Office in March 2015 as this is the most recent comprehensive assessment of the council covering: vision and strategy; governance and accountability; use of resources; collaboration and partnerships; managing improvement; and performance and outcomes. The specific WAO reports which have instigated the proposals are referenced in the update.  \n3.4 An area on the hub (the Council’s Intranet) has been established , for members to view, which contains all of the recent reports issued to the Council by Wales Audit Office as part of their performance audit work programme, this also includes the Council’s initial management response to each report.  \n3.5 As well as being made available on the hub reports published by WAO are also presented to Audit Committee, accompanied by the Council’s management response , as they are produced. For example during 2016/17 a number of auditshave been completed by WAO including: Corporate Assessment follow-on reviews on Performance Management; Governance; Human Resources and Information Technology, all of which have already been reported to Audit Committee.  \n3.6 Recently published audit reviews on “Savings planning” and “Good governance when determining significant service changes” are presented separately on the Audit Committee agenda for the 6th July, accompanied by the Council’s management response, and are therefore not included within this report.  \n3.7 This update builds on the most recent update provided in December 2016 as part of the six monthly reporting in place. Where progress and evidence for a proposal suggests it has been adequately addressed the proposal has been “closed” and removed from the report, an overview of these is provided in appendix 2. Proposals which require further attention are marked as “open”, while some proposals have been combined where the issues covered and/or the action the council is taking to respond to them are strongly linked.  \n3.8 Each proposal update highlights:  \n􀁸 The specific proposal, or more than one proposal if they are closely linked.  \n􀁸 The progress made up to June 2017 to address the issues identified by the proposal.  \n􀁸 Whether the status of the proposal is to remain “open” or be “closed” if the","cbCaipO097NxQunl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipO097NxQunl","pdf",473105,"English","# Purpose\n# Recommendations\n# Key Issues\n## Proposal types and council response expectations\n## Scope and source of proposals\n## Member access to WAO reports and management responses\n## Proposal tracking: open vs closed\n# Reasons","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Progress Report for the Audit Committee?\",\"answer\":\"It provides the Audit Committee with an update on the authority’s progress against Wales Audit Office proposals for improvement up to June 2017.\"},{\"question\":\"How are WAO proposals for improvement handled and tracked over time?\",\"answer\":\"Proposals are marked as “open” or “closed” depending on progress evidence; closed proposals are removed from the report, while open proposals include further actions the council will take.\"},{\"question\":\"What response timelines apply to formal recommendations made by WAO?\",\"answer\":\"If a formal recommendation is made, the council must prepare a response within 30 working days.\"}]","Progress Report - Wales Audit Office Proposals for Improvement | PDF",1789264792]
