Issue - meetings

The Executive Member for Finance and Governance and Director of Finance submitted a report for the Executive’s consideration. The report advised the Executive of corporate performance at the end of Quarter One 2022/23 and where appropriate sought approval of any changes, where these lie within the authority of the Executive.

The Council’s Scheme of Delegation gave the Executive collective responsibility for corporate strategic performance, together with associated action.

The report provided the necessary information to enable the Executive to discharge its performance management responsibilities, setting out progress against Executive action, the Strategic Plan and other key associated items, together with actions to be taken to address any issued identified.

The projected 2022/23 financial outturns were presented separately to Executive, and so not repeated here. Where performance had a significant impact on finances this was highlighted within the body of the report.

As part of continuous improvement in performance and risk management, the Council’s Leadership Management Team (LMT) had implemented monthly reviews of corporate performance utilising a Directorate Performance dashboard, drawing data from a range of performance systems.

The output from these sessions was reflected through quarterly updates to the Executive and Overview and Scrutiny Board and covered in addition, progress in delivering actions agreed by the Executive, key Directorate performance issues and other performance-related matters.
