Details
Slough Borough Council was one of a small number of local authorities to request exceptional financial support during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government agreed in principle to this request subject to the outcome of an external assurance review.
On 30 June the Secretary of State announced an external assurance review of Slough Borough Council’s financial position and the strength of its wider governance arrangements. The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) led on the financial aspects of the review. Jim Taylor, former Chief Executive of Salford City Council, Trafford Council and Rochdale Borough Council, led on governance.
CIPFA’s financial review and Jim Taylor’s governance review set out detailed findings, including conclusions, evidence and methodology used, and include recommendations for the future.
