To approve the Audit Commission’s annual governance statement. 

The committee considered the annual governance statement for 2010/11. 

Councillors noted that of the committee’s suggestions made on the draft document in July, some related to the council’s existing corporate objectives from 2008.  The council was in the process of reviewing these.  The review would consider the committee’s comments.  The committee’s other suggestion was to introduce an investment strategy, particularly in relation to property.  The updated annual governance statement incorporated this recommendation. 

RESOLVED: To approve the annual governance statement for 2010/11.
