Decision details

RESOLVED:

(1)     That the Fraud Prevention Policy attached at Appendix A be approved with the following amendment:

The first line of Paragraph 6 in Section 2 entitled Reporting, ‘that are reported’ be

removed from the Fraud Prevention Policy so that it read:

“The Council will investigate all suspicions, and where deemed appropriate the matter raised may be:”

(2)    That the Learning and Development Champions be requested to consider how e-learning modules can be better advertised to Members and how Members can be encouraged to undertake essential training such as anti bribery and fraud prevention.

REASON FOR DECISION: The new policy provides all the information in relation to fraud and similar offences. This makes it more accessible, especially as the total length of documentation is shorter. By making it easier to read and understand policies, it should aid compliance.
