Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager which informed Members of the work that had been carried out by Internal Audit during the period 1  2017 to 30  2017 as part of the 2017/2018 Internal Audit Plan (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Audit and Fraud Manager highlighted progress against the Plan for each Service Grouping, and informed Members of the amendments to the plan and the unplanned audit reviews in the quarter. The report also provided a summary of progress on actions due, implemented and overdue, and finalised audits that had been issued with a limited assurance opinion.

Councillor Temple commented that he was disappointed that out of four surveys sent to a service group, only two were returned.

Resolved:

(i)            That the amendments made to the 2017/2018 Annual Internal Audit Plan be noted;

(ii)          That the work undertaken by Internal Audit during the period ending 31 December 2017 be noted;

(iii)         That the performance of the Internal Audit Service during the period be noted;

(iv)         That the progress made by service managers in responding to the work of Internal Audit be noted;
