Decision details

Reduction of working capital cash payment made to the Children’s Trust

Decision Maker: Director of Finance

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The intercompany treasury management in Bradford Metropolitan District Council is less than optimal as the Council is borrowing and paying interest associated with the working capital loan/ payments to the Bradford Children and Families Trust. This is ultimately resulting in excess funds in the Bradford Children and Families Trust bank account that are generating significantly lower rates of deposit interest than the Councils cost of borrowing.

Decision:

This Decision notice is to record the approval for the authorisation of the working capital cash value to be reduced from £14,191,666.67 to £5,000,000.00.
