Accounts Commission meeting summary video transcript
Jennifer Henerson, Accounts Commission Member
At today's Accounts Commission meeting, we were fortunate to start with a private discussion with the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government, Ms Robison.
We talked about areas of common interest such as reform and financial sustainability.
In our main public meeting, the main order of business was considering the reports from Argyll and Bute Council.
We talked about the usual things - finance, performance, transformation, leadership, and workforce, which is our Best Value thematic for this year.
The Commission will be considering its findings and producing its full report for publication in early April.
We’ll also, in the coming months, be reporting on the Highland Council, East Lothian and Renfrewshire.
The other thing we did in our private session today was consider the diversity, equality and inclusion strategy that's being developed.
Tackling inequality is one of the Commission's key priorities, so it was something we were very keen to have input into before it's finalised.
