Agenda item

Joint Report of the Corporate Director of Neighbourhoods and Climate Change and the Corporate Director of Resources (Interim) and Treasurer to the Joint Committee.

The Finance Manager referred to the report setting out the Annual Review of the System of Internal Audit (for copy see file of minutes). 

Members noted that part of the role of Durham County Council’s Audit Committee was to scrutinise the performance and effectiveness of Internal Audit and had received a report at its meeting in June 2021, with evidence provided by way of self-assessment against key elements of the PSIAS.  It was explained that this provided assurance to the Joint Committee that the work carried out by Internal Audit was in line with best practice and the latest PSIAS.

Resolved:

That the information demonstrating the efficiency and effectiveness of the Durham County Council Internal Audit Service be noted.
