00:00Updates have been given to members of Bridgend County Borough Council after concerns were raised over two local primary schools in the authority's internal audit report for 2024-25.
00:13The report revealed issues at Meisteg School and Pennybont Primary, which required a number of follow-up actions to be carried out.
00:22These included records that were not fully maintained, as well as there being no breakdown of expected miscellaneous income.
00:31Officers noted that when it came to the high levels of spend on a council purchasing card, although the card had been used differently to other schools, it had still been used within council rules, with no signs of fraud.
00:44They added that after discussions with the school, practices had since been changed to reflect better and more economical ways of purchasing.
00:54Internal audit will now revisit both schools to further monitor their approach.
