The council's failure to produce auditable accounts since Oracle's implementation in 2022 highlights severe governance issues, contributing to its effective bankruptcy and lack of operational stability.
The report revealed a severe lack of trust between council members and officers due to the failed Oracle implementation and the absence of clear recovery plans for the ongoing issues.
The council's Oracle Fusion project, initially intended to enhance operational efficiency, has resulted in escalating costs from £19 million to an astonishing £131 million over 18 months.
In October 2023, a new recovery strategy was launched, addressing the council's dire need for governance, control, and skills in managing the Oracle program.
