Decision:
Cabinet noted that the Risk Based Verification Policy has been reviewed and no changes were required.
Minutes:
Councillor G Brown, as the relevant Portfolio Holder, elaborated on his report and noted the Risk Based Verification Policy had been in place for a number of years but a requirement of the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) was to approve the Policy annually. It was noted that Auditors checked the policy was being adhered to and it was further reported the Council had very low levels of fraud and bad debts and therefore risks were very low.
RESOLVED:
That the Risk Based Verification Policy had been reviewed and no changes were required.
Reason for decision:
Members are required to review the RBV Policy annually. The Policy was last reviewed on 16th April 2019 (Report 58/2019).
