Committee considered a final progress report in respect of the 2021/22 Internal Audit Plan.

Appendix 1 to the report provided a summary of 4 reports issued between 10th July 2021 and 26th August 2021 which had all been issued with substantial assurance.  The definitions of the assurance levels used were provided in a table in the report.  In respect of the audits being reported, it was confirmed that no issues relating to fraud were identified. 

Appendix 2 to the report provided full details of the audits completed and audits in progress in respect of 2021/22.  The completion of the 2020/21 internal audit plan ran into 2021/22, so was slightly behind target in comparison to previous years, however, the Internal Audit team were now concentrating fully on the current year’s plan.

The Portfolio Holder for Finance & Resources thanked the Internal Audit Consortium Manager and her team for the level of work that they carried out.  The Chair echoed the Portfolio Holder’s comments and requested that his thanks also be passed to the Internal Audit team.
