Issue - meetings

Committee considered a detailed report in relation to the Council’s Anti-Fraud, Bribery and Corruption policy.

The Council’s Anti-Fraud, Bribery and Corruption policy had been updated to take account of all legislative and operational changes to ensure it was fit for purpose.

The policy aimed to help employees (including temporary and agency workers), Members and Co-opted Members to understand their roles in the Council regarding fraud, bribery and corruption.  Employees must ensure they adhered to legal and contractual requirements and that all procedures and practices remained above reproach.  The policy also aimed to help partners, contractors, suppliers, voluntary organisations and the public, to understand how and when to contact the Council with their concerns.

Training on the policy for new Members following an election would be carried out at inductions stage.

Moved by Councillor Tom Munro and seconded by Councillor Chris Kane

RECOMMENDED that the Anti-Fraud, Bribery and Corruption Policy be presented to Executive for approval.
