Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager which provided the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fund Manager’s assurance opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Council’s internal control environment and presented the Annual Internal Audit Report for 2015/16 (for copy see file of Minutes).

Councillor Carr referred to the potential payroll migration to Oracle and asked whether the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager had an assurance that this would work.  The Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager replied that Phase 1 of the proposal was to consider whether Oracle was the ‘best fit’ for this and work was ongoing on this project.

Resolved:

That the content of the Annual Internal Audit Report and the overall ‘moderate’ opinion provided on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Council’s Internal Control environment for 2015/16 be noted.
