Report of the Head of Finance (shared services)

The committee received a report of the Head of Finance (shared services) which provided details in implementing the actions required in the Annual Governance Statement. 

The Director of Finance informed the committee that the procurement process would be started for one Disaster Recovery tender for both councils rather than the current two contracts.  The aim was to have a full disaster recovery test next summer.  Once this had taken place all recommendations related to disaster recovery could be shown as complete and then removed from the outstanding actions.

The Director of Finance informed the committee that recently there had been a need to power down the Town Hall complex.  This had tested some of the elements of disaster recovery.  It had taken place over a weekend and the start of the new week all systems were working. 

RESOLVED –

that the progress made against the action plan be noted.
