Details
In January 2023 the Department commissioned an External Assurance Review of Woking Borough Council. This was carried out by Jim Taylor, Carol Culley OBE and Mervyn Greer, with fieldwork taking place over January and February.
The review team was asked to provide an external assessment of the Council’s governance arrangements, financial situation, commercial investments and their capacity and capability to manage these in the immediate and longer-term.
The Council made the Department aware of further developments in their commercial and finance arrangements in April 2023, following which the Department requested that the review team undertake further fieldwork in April and May.
The resulting report reflects all review work undertaken from January to May 2023. This report has been redacted in light of the commercially sensitive nature of some of its contents.
