Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager which submitted for approval the revised Internal Audit Strategy, Charter and Plan for 2018/2019 (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager advised that the Internal Audit Charter remained largely the same as that approved by the Audit Committee in June 2017.

Mr Rudd, in referencing the number of planned audit days asked how this compared to the previous year. In response, the Chief Internal Auditor and Corporate Fraud Manager advised that as a result of the team being down by 1 member of staff the plan proposed 100 days less than that carried out during 2017/2018.

Resolved:

(i)           That the Internal Audit Strategy be approved.

(ii)          That the Internal Audit Charter be approved.

(iii)         That the proposed Internal Audit Plan for 2018/19 be approved.
