The Larsen report into Dunedin City Council practises has highlighted several areas its authors believe need to be attended to.

The review covered the governance of companies in which the Council has a more than 50% financial interest.

One of the main problems highlighted was cases where councillors were also directors of Council-controlled organisations.

The report also recommended that Senior Managers should not be company directors.

Council discussed the report at a closed-door meeting this week.
