Transparency in Local Government
Tameside MBC is a consistently high performing authority whose accounts fall under the scrutiny of the Audit Commission and are reported to the authority’s Audit Panel.
In June 2010 a moratorium on spend was imposed by the Executive Leader and Chief Executive in response to the headline deficit reduction strategy of the coalition government and the inevitable impact of this on local government.
Formal internal scrutiny procedures of expenditure items have been introduced. These work alongside procurement systems to ensure that best prices are obtained.
In response to the government’s desire for increased transparency in local government Tameside MBC is now publishing details of payment transactions to suppliers where the value is greater than £500.
