Report of the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager.

The Chairman introduced the Audit and Fraud Manager, Stephen Carter who was in attendance to speak to Members as regards an update to the Internal Audit Charter (for copy see file of minutes).

The Audit and Fraud Manager reminded the Joint Committee that the Internal Audit Charter had last been considered at its meeting held 22 April 2015 and had been updated at that time to reflect the changes in Public Sector Internal Audit Standards and working standards and guidance updating proper practices underpinning the Accounts and Audit Regulations (England) 2011.  It was explained that the Charter, in its current form, contained minor revisions in terms of post titles and one revision relating to arrangements for holding an exit meeting following a review and preparation of a Draft Report, as set out in Paragraph 43 of the Charter attached at Appendix 2 to the report.

Resolved:

That the Members of the Central Durham Crematorium Joint Committee approve the revised Internal Audit Charter.
