The Local Code sets out its governance arrangements in relation to the seven best practice principles in the CIPFA/IFAC International Framework: Good Governance in the Public Sector (see Section 4) and as required by the CIFPA/SOLACE Delivering Good Governance in Local Government Framework. 2. What is Corporate Governance? 2.1 Corporate governance comprises of the arrangements put in place to ensure that the intended outcomes for service users and stakeholders are defined and achieved, while acting in the public interest at all times. It is about doing the right things, in the right way, for the right people, in a timely, inclusive, open, transparent, honest and accountable manner. 3. Responsibilities for Corporate Governance 3.1 All Members and officers have a responsibility for upholding the principles of good governance. It is a key responsibility for the Leader of the Council and the Chief Executive. 3.2 The Statutory Officers Group, comprising of the Monitoring Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive, are responsible for the development, delivery and review of robust corporate governance arrangements. 3.3 The Audit Committee has responsibility for monitoring and reviewing the Council s corporate governance arrangements. 3.4 The Chief Auditor produces an Annual Report to Audit Committee on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Council s systems of internal control. 3.5 The Annual Governance Statement is produced following a review of the effectiveness of the Council s corporate governance arrangements, as outlined in this Code. Any significant governance weaknesses are highlighted, and an action plan produced to address these issues, and monitored by the Audit Committee.
