District audit report: review of corporate planning arrangements

Report: 04
Date: 29 May 2002
By: Commissioner

Summary

District Audit has now formally published its report on the corporate planning arrangements of the MPA and MPS. FPBV first received this report last month. In this paper, the MPS proposes an action plan that demonstrates activities and intentions to meet the recommendations made by District Audit.

A. Recommendations

1. That members note the proposed action plan as set out in Appendix 1 (see Supporting material), and that District Audit be informed of progress.

B. Supporting information

1. In late 2001 District Audit conducted a review of MPA/MPS corporate planning arrangements. The resulting report was considered by FPBV at its meeting on 18 April, and the MPS was asked to bring a proposed action plan to this meeting.

2. Appendix 1 (see Supporting material) consists of the template set out as Appendix 2 to the original District Audit report. The MPS has proposed responses and timescales to the recommendations in the template.

3. It can be seen from the responses that the broad thrust of the recommendations are being addressed as part of the improvements to the annual planning process that are now being developed to deliver the 2003/04 policing and performance plan.

C. Financial implications

There are no immediate financial implications.
