Background:
|
Further development and implementation of mobile working During the last two years Craven District Council has experienced difficulty in retaining and appointing appropriately experienced and qualified accountancy and finance staff. This period of major change in staff and capacity has resulted in the weakening of the standing of the Council as referenced in the use of resources score (1-below minimum requirements). A major improvement programme is now underway and it is expected that the score for 2009 will reflect the improving trend.
