Purpose

The Anti-Fraud and Corruption Policy was
presented to the Executive for adoption on 16 May 2024. At the
meeting, the submitted version of the Policy was unable to clearly
demonstrate that the recommendations of the Corporate Governance
and Standards Committee meeting held on 11 April 2024 had been
incorporated. Consequently, the Executive resolved that
consideration of the adoption of the Anti-Fraud & Corruption
Policy and associated policies be referred to the Leader of the
Council for determination in consultation with Executive members
and the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Standards
Committee. A tracked changed version of the report was referred to
the Leader and consultees for consideration on 20 May 2024.
