A representative of the Corporate Director, Corporate and Support Services submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which advised all stakeholders of the key and recurring issues, risks and subsequent recommendations made from the internal audits of schools undertaken in 2019/20.

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Members commented on the lack of space at some schools, this was an issue that needed to be urgently addressed.

·         A query was raised relating to point 2.6 in the report and what exactly was an ‘unofficial fund’.  Members were advised that an ‘unofficial fund’ was similar to petty cash and was something some schools used when they needed to pay out small sums of money.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
