To consider the report of the Chief Finance Officer

The Principal Accountant advised Members of any material differences, by management unit between the approved budget and the outturn forecast for the first nine months of the financial year up to 31 December 2017 in respect of People Services. An outturn update in respect of the People Capital Programme was also incorporated in the report in order to help provide a comprehensive financial update in respect of the People Services budget.

The current forecast suggested that net expenditure would increase from the approved budget by a total of £305,840 after transfers from reserves and revenue contributions to capital. This represented a variation of 10.17% from the revised budget and included a supplementary budget of £372,160.

The System Lead Finance responded to questions from the Chair on Housing Benefits which is attached to the minutes.

People Scrutiny Committee noted the report.
