Corporate Self-Assessment available online
3 September 2024
Covering April 2023 to March 2024, the document includes evidence gathered from a variety of sources, demonstrating how the council:
- exercises its functions;
- uses resources economically, efficiently and effectively;
- and is underpinned by effective governance.
Cabinet approved the corporate-self assessment on Tuesday 30 July 2024, following a detailed review by the council's Governance and Audit Committee.
The corporate self-assessment report offers a transparent and honest reflection of the Council's performance over the past 12 months; learning lessons from what has worked well, what needs to improve and what needs to be done differently for the people of Powys.
The report is also informed by external evidence, such as the recommendations of audit reports and other regulatory inspections. The findings of the corporate self-assessment inform a series of improvement actions which are detailed within the report, to be delivered over the next 12 months.
Cllr James Gibson-Watt, Leader and Cabinet Member for an Open and Transparent Powys, said: "We are required to develop and publish a self-assessment report once in every financial period.
"This report indicates how the council is delivering at a strategic level and how processes are reviewed to ensure they are working correctly.
"This is a reflective process, and both good practice and areas for improvement have been identified and will be used to improve how the council works, and ultimately, supports the people of Powys.
"This is also a report for the people of Powys, and we would welcome everyone sharing their views on how effective they feel we are as your council."
Undertaking the annual corporate self-assessment exercise and keeping performance under review also ensures that the Council continues to meet its duties under Part 6 of the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021.
