Issue - meetings

The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 required the Council to “undertake an effective internal audit to evaluate the effectiveness of its risk management, control and governance processes, taking into account public sector internal auditing standards or guidance”. In accordance with the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards, the Audit Manager must report periodically to the Audit Committee on the internal audit activity’s performance relative to its plan.

It was reported that due to staff turnover there may be an impact on the delivery of the audit plan although more audits were usually completed towards the end of the year. 

RESOLVED:

That the progress information contained within the report be noted.
