Report of the Chief Financial Officer seeking approval of the Council's draft Annual Governance Statement 2018-19, attached.

The Committee received and noted the report of the Chief Financial Officer detailing the Annual Governance Statement for 2018-19.  The Committee noted that the Accounts and Audit Regulations required that the Council developed and published an Annual Governance Statement and the extent to which the Council had complied with its Code of Corporate Governance.

The Committee particularly noted that the Annual Performance Appraisal Process was still not fully embedded across the Council with some inconsistencies across service areas in terms of compliance.  The Committee requested that a more detailed report be presented to a future meeting detailing the process, impact on career progression and an appraisal breakdown of stats across the Council service areas.
