RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES

Draft Treasury Management Strategy 2012/13 (Overview and Scrutiny (Stewardship) Committee).

The Director of Finance to report that Paper L132R is a revised paper reflecting the views on the original Paper L132 to the Overview and Scrutiny (Stewardship) Committee.  This paper contains a lot of detail that is required to comply with the CIPFA Code of Practice on Treasury Management.  External Auditors also expect and require this level of detail, as do the Council’s Finance staff to ensure they operate in accordance with the laid down policy and strategy. 

The Overview and Scrutiny (Stewardship) Committee therefore asked officers to produce a summary of the key changes that are incorporated in Paper L132 to aid Members in their consideration of the Treasury Management Strategy and this is attached as Paper L142.

Members are asked to recommend approval of the recommendations contained in Paper L132R to Council.
