The Service Director – Resources presented the report on Integrated Performance Management and highlighted points including:

·                This report set out the process for monitoring and reporting on council projects, performance indicators, and risk and the service delivery plan between Overview & Scrutiny Committee and the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and sought to realign this process to promote better governance

·                Under the proposed changes the Overview & Scrutiny Committee would deal with risk management on a more granular level by examining specific risks and the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee would deal with governance issues and the risk management framework more generally

·                Financial risks would be able to come before the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and the Chairs of the two committees would liaise to avoid the duplication of work and to ensure items were presented to the right body.

Councillor Terry Hone noted his support for these proposals and that a more integrated approach to performance management risk was appropriate.
