Code of Corporate Governance
The council has a statutory responsibility as stated in the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 to review its existing governance arrangements, develop and maintain an up to date local Code of Corporate Governance (the Code), which includes arrangements for ensuring ongoing effectiveness, and to prepare an Annual Governance Statement (AGS) which reports publicly on the council's compliance with the Code and the monitoring of the effectiveness of its governance arrangements.
This document is Mansfield District Council's Code and clearly states how it will apply the principles of corporate governance in the way it operates and conducts its business. It has been developed in accordance with the principles outlined in the CIPFA/SOLACE "Delivering Good Governance in Local Government" (2016) framework and accompanying guidance notes.
