Report by Internal Audit Manager

The Audit Scotland report for the National Fraud Initiative (NFI) 2008/09 exercise listed Argyll and Bute Council as having scope to improve their process in investigating matches.  A report highlighting that the NFI 2010/11 national exercise matches were released to the Council on 25 January 2011 was before the Committee for consideration.  The investigation and reporting of NFI matches will need the co-operation and support of Officers in both Community and Customer Services and set out in the report was the approach and responsibilities required for the 2010/11 exercise.

Decision

Noted the contents of the report and that the Strategic Management Team will receive a monthly progress report regarding the investigation of NFI matches by the responsible Officers.
