agencies and management information to our Services and dealing with the workload arising from the Council’s Voluntary Severance Scheme,Equal Pay and Single Status grading issues.

•  The team will progress the rationalisation of pay-runs, the planned project to achieve better integration with HR to streamline payroll processingarrangements, the implications of auto-enrolment and updating the HMRC scheme of dispensation.

•  Further changes are planned in pensions automatic enrolment and the team are aiming to streamline the number of pay-runs that aresupported, in consultation with employees.

Corporate Procurement

•  This team provide a central resource in the management of the supplier engagement process, support services in procurement of new servicesand commodities and undertake opportunities that will create efficiencies for the council;

•  The Sustainability Bill will be considered, along with the opportunities for securing Community Benefit through procurement processes;

•  A key factor is implementation and corporate roll-out of electronic “procurement-to-pay” (P2P) to get full knowledge of the Council’s cost base

and full compliance with contracting arrangements and the team focus on achieving Procurement efficiencies;

•  As an external bench-mark we achieved a significant improvement in our Procurement Capability assessment score conducted by ScotlandExcel moving into the “compliance” level but we also have a range of improvement initiatives to improve performance;

•  The team will focus on achieving greater Procurement efficiencies and progressing through the Compliance Standards set in the ProcurementCapability Assessment and Improvements to invoice payments SPI will be progressed in conjunction with Corporate Finance.

 Audi t & Risk Management

•  This team provide a range of corporate assurance measures on the council’s internal financial and management controls and is responsible forthe Corporate Risk Management arrangements. With a key role in governance, the team provide an independent appraisal of the effectivenessand suitability of the application of resources.

•  The management of the insurance requirements are also dealt with by this team. Embedding the principles of risk management and ensuringthe core financial and organisational controls remain robust are the key considerations for the period of this BIP.

SECTION 2 – SUPPORTING IMPROVEMENT PLANNING

Strategic Assessment

The Finance & ICT Service has undertaken a fresh strategic scan of the environment and landscape covering our areas of interest. We reviewed political,economic, social and technological issues. This “PEST” assessment indicates how the service is required to respond to these local and national policypriorities and other external influences.

Political

There are often changes to the legislation and regulations for information security, local taxation and DWP benefits which adds to the challenges we face.These more often than not require significant changes to our computer systems and procedures. This results in additional staff training which impacts on theresources available to provide the service. It also means we must make our customers aware of how changes will impact on them.

Economic

The economic climate has impacted the numbers of customers requiring services i.e. benefits and debt repayment agreements. Public sector financesincrease pressure to provide 'more for less', while local authority expenditure is expected to increase in some areas, e.g. due to demographics andexpectations of higher quality service. Such pressures exacerbate a difficult situation whereby the Council could require to find £12 million of savings over the2011 Spending Review to balance Revenue Budgets. This will be a very difficult, likely to mean that strategic decisions will have to be made. One of thisServices functions is ensuring high quality information is made available on the options available so that decision-makers are as well informed as possible.

Social

Due to local employment levels and job losses, uncertainties on the changes arising from welfare reform and financial hardship, more of our citizens willutilise the services we provide, and counselling in debt and money management issues.

Technical

The Council has many ICT systems providing services to our customers. These will be reviewed and enhanced to meet the changes in legislation andcustomer needs. We also work closely with external suppliers on aspects of ICT to ensure advancements in technology are exploited to improve efficiencyand effectiveness. Information Technology is vital to our future improvement.

The service completed a review of it’s Risk Register in 2011 and the Council’s Financial Risk Register has also been drawn upon to populate the PESTassessment set out in the timetable below.

 Approach to Equali ties and Sustainable Development

The Equality Act 2010 sets out a public sector equality duty. EDC is subject to the equality duty and we have due regard to the need to:

•  Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act. Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.• 

Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not• 

Compliance makes good business sense, as an organisation that is able to provide services to meet the diverse needs of its users is able to carry out its corebusiness more efficiently. Equality issues are actively promoted across the organisation, and not just at the corporate centre. To embed this, the Finance &

ICT Service has developed the following Equality & Diversity Statement, highlighting work taking place. This demonstrates a:

•  Commitment to equality and diversityDetails of any specific work being un•  dertaken in relation to equality and diversity

•  Relevant protected characteristic/equality strand this work supports•  Outcomes / expected outcomes

Risk Management Considerations

Risk Management is concerned with the protection of the Council's assets and liabilities, the placing of protective insurances and encouragement of resiliencethroughout the Council's departments. This work is consolidated within the Council's overall Risk Management Strategy. Risk Management is a managementdiscipline through which concerted and co-ordinated action is taken to identify, evaluate and control current and potential causes of loss which could threatenthe Council's ability to deliver services.

This service assists Council management to review key risks and identify strategies to deal with the key risk exposures. The development and regular reviewof risk management strategies and risk registers is a key means of containing and reducing risk and embedding risk management culture throughout thecouncil is a key objective.
