Background

 

This report detailed the revenue budget forecasts as at the end of September 2016. The report noted that after management action, the forecast outturn for 2016/17 was a potential overspend of £1.4m.

 

It was noted that further action plans were being formulated by directorate management teams and managers continued to be challenged to ensure adherence to the moratorium principles.  Through this scrutiny and challenge, it was anticipated that the forecast overspend would reduce further as the year progressed.
