Code of corporate governance

Aspects of corporate governance find expression in the everyday practices and procedures of the Council. An overarching code of corporate governance aims to:

• stimulate confidence in the activities of local government, its politicians and employees, and the way the authority goes about its business
• focus the minds of those involved in local government on making decisions in a proper way
• engage with local stakeholders
• assist with continuous improvement in the delivery of services
• minimise the authority’s exposure to risk.
