Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose: The council owns, or has an interest, in several companies and joint ventures. This report makes proposals about the future management and oversight of entities which the council wholly owns or has a controlling interest in (‘council owned entities’). The proposals are set out in the Draft Companies Governance Handbook.    The handbook draws on best practice guidance and sets out the standards and principles the council will apply in relation to council owned entities.  It is intended to ensure that the council and the entities it owns, or controls, operate transparently, compliantly and with clear accountability about decision making.   The Companies Governance Handbook has already been considered by the Shareholder Cabinet Committee.
