2. Motion - Beautiful Ideas CIC internal Audit reports by Councillors Alfie Hincks, Anna Rothery, Alan Gibbons, Sarah Morton, Rona Heron, Sam Gorst and Joanne Calvert 0:00
To consider the terms of the following motion submitted by Councillors Alfie Hincks, Anna Rothery, Alan Gibbons, Sarah Morton, Rona Heron, Sam Gorst and Joanne Calvert –
“This Council views with concern the content of the 2015, 2017 and 2019 Beautiful Ideas Community Interest Company (CIC) internal Audit reports.
We note that issues were raised about record-keeping, non-payment of business rates, VAT registration, independent verification of takings, non-distribution of funds to the community, failures in the scoring system of the selection body, remuneration of directors and conduct of the company by the Board including any council appointed Director.
We note that it took the intervention of the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) to bring some transparency to the operation of the Beautiful Ideas CIC and the involvement of councillors.
Council believes serious questions of governance are raised and that there should be independent participation in a full and rigorous inquiry into the company and its relationship to Liverpool City Council.”
