[To receive an update on the Council’s current position with regards to the publication of all its expenditure]

Peter Farrow, Head of Audit presented the report on the Council’s payment transparency activity.  Since the last report to the Committee no requests had been received for information from the public (armchair auditor request).  Instead, the public were using the Freedom of Information route or Subject Access Requests as the vehicle to obtain information. He would continue to monitor armchair auditor requests and report to the Committee on any received.

Resolved:

That the Council’s current position with regards to the publication of all its expenditure be noted.
