45/13 Minutes <strong>and</strong> matters arising from the previous meeting<br />

The minutes of the last meeting were agreed as a true <strong>and</strong> accurate record. There were no<br />

matters arising.<br />

46/13 Action update<br />

• Business planning 13/14<br />

Further update to be provided to the <strong>Trust</strong> Board via finance paper but this was likely to<br />

attract some media interest.<br />

• Contract Penalties<br />

No formal response had been received from the Commissioners but as the contract had<br />

been agreed <strong>and</strong> signed <strong>and</strong> both organisations had submitted accounts it would be<br />

assumed that there was no liability.<br />

• Budgetary control policy<br />

Update due next meeting but the DoF updated the Committee on plans to introduce a<br />

comprehensive developmental programme both for the finance team <strong>and</strong> the wider<br />

organisation, encouraging a culture of financial management throughout.<br />

• DV Valuation<br />

The DoF tabled an update from the Financial Management Accountant which outlined<br />

the methods <strong>and</strong> processes used in the valuation of assets. The DoF would provide a<br />

further update on the challenges <strong>and</strong> the effect of annual dividend at the next meeting of<br />

the Committee. The DoF <strong>and</strong> DoPSS would also look at ways of improving the<br />

relationship with the District Valuer.<br />

• Assurance Framework<br />

This item did not feature on the agenda as the framework was currently being updated<br />

by the DoG, but updates noted at the previous Committee meeting would be<br />

incorporated into the new version.<br />

• Best Practice Tariffs<br />

DoF/<br />

DoPSS<br />
