This Committee looks at how the
Council manages and uses money.
It can:
·
Review the way Council managers make decisions about
spending money
·
Challenge the Council to use the most effective
means of managing money
·
Examine and challenge the Council’s plans for
spending over the whole year (its budget)
·
Recommend ways to improve the Council’s
processes for buying goods and services (and for managing services
to get the best value)
·
Listen to the views of the Council’s Audit
Panel and challenge it to do its best work.
The Committee chooses the
issues it wants to focus on each year and holds five meetings,
which are open to the public. The
agenda and papers for each meeting are published online in
advance.
