Minutes:
Mr Tony Qayum, Corporate Anti-Fraud Manager, presented his report which updated Members on the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy 2018-19.
Mr Qayum stated Local Authorities are required to maintain high standards of probity and have sound arrangements in place for protecting the public purse. He said his team worked with the regulatory authorities such as CIPFA and the National Fraud Authority to ‘fight fraud locally’ and have a pro-active and re-active presence across all areas of the Council’s activities.
Mr Qayum, said central to their approach were themes of
· Acknowledge
· Prevent; and
· Pursue
Mr Qayum made reference to point 5.4, page 73 and said there had been a typographical error as the appendix referred to should state Appendix 2 rather than Appendix 3.
Members of the Committee made the following comments in relation to the report:
· It would be useful to have information on the role of the Police in helping to fight and prevent fraud.
The Committee NOTED the content of the report.
