To consider the current publication of the Performance & Financial Monitoring Information.

Reporting Person – Councillor Ayesha Azad

The Members of the Committee noted that the most recent edition of the Performance & Financial Monitoring Information to have been published had covered the month of January 2022.  In view of the time that had passed, it was not felt that the information should be reviewed.  It was agreed that that the latest performance and financial monitoring information would be considered at the next meeting.

The Members were advised that a report reviewing the Performance & Financial Monitoring Information would be brought to the next meeting of the Committee.  The review would take into consideration the approach of other, similar authorities when reporting on performance and financial information, and Members were invited to provide suggestions for ways in which the document could be improved. 

It was suggested that the Council should publish a schedule of the dates on which the information was expected to be published over the year, and that it should be provided in a format which allocated Members to annotate the document.  The Committee had previously suggested that the ‘metrics’ within the information should be reviewed to ensure that the most useful information was provided.

Resolved

That (i)    the Council’s Performance and Financial Monitoring Information be reviewed at the next meeting of the Committee; and

          (ii)   the intention to bring a report to the next meeting reviewing the Performance and Financial Monitoring Information be noted.
