Scrutiny and Audit Committee 24 June 2026 | Dundee City Council

The Dundee City Council Scrutiny and Audit Committee meeting held on June 24, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing various audit reports, financial accounts, and inspection outcomes. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation and noting of the council's unaudited annual accounts and the section 106 charities' accounts, with plans to forward these for audit and further scrutiny. Internal audit reports highlighted areas such as social work contracts and payments, cash handling, budgetary control, and housing stock external wall insulation, with several recommendations already implemented or in progress. The committee also reviewed the internal audit plan progress, the annual internal audit report, and the strategic risk register, emphasizing ongoing improvements in governance and financial controls. Additionally, the committee discussed complaints handling performance and noted increased complaint volumes and complexity, with efforts underway to improve response times and training. No new contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the discussions on budget monitoring and audit findings have implications for future procurement oversight and financial management within the council.
