Summary

This report invites the Sub-Committee to consider a report which has previously been considered by the Corporate Governance Committee.

B. Supporting information

1. The Audit Commission conducts an annual Police Use of Resources Evaluation (called PURE) for every Police Authority in England. At its meeting on 8 December 2008 the Corporate Governance Committee considered a report on the findings of the latest PURE evaluation and also the outcome of an assessment by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary of how the MPS /MPA manage resources.

2. At the Authority meeting on 27 November 2008 members requested that relevant audit reports should also be considered by Finance and Resource Committee members so that members might understand the strategic use of resources/efficiencies more and understand the main areas for more efficiencies in the context of the challenging medium term financial position.

3. The report is accordingly attached for member’s consideration. Members may wish to pass comments to the Productivity and Performance Sub-Committee, which has improving the leverage of strategic resources as part of its remit.
