Council responds to VAGO Audit findings

Wednesday, 3 July, 2019 Strathbogie Shire Council endorsed a comprehensive action plan in response to the findings of the recent Victorian Auditor-General’s Office Audit Report (VAGO) into Fraud and Corruption Controls at a Special Council Meeting on Tuesday 2nd July. Council also appointed Phil Howard as Acting CEO until the appointment of a permanent CEO, which is envisaged to happen later this year.  Strathbogie Shire Mayor Cr Amanda McClaren said the appointment of Phil Howard as Acting CEO will allow the organisation to continue to make some serious policy and procedural improvements before it welcomes a new Chief Executive. Mayor McClaren said Council is also focused on the very important task of appointing the next CEO, who will be crucial to ensuring the organisation can rebuild community trust with a much tighter focus on the needs and expectations of its ratepayers.
