R19-23

Partially accepted January 2019

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

The Local Government Transparency Code should be updated to provide that local authorities must ensure that their whistleblowing policy specifies a named contact for the external auditor alongside their contact details, which should be available on the authority’s website.

Government response

The government agrees with the principle that openness is essential.
