Issue - meetings

The Head of the Internal Audit Consortium presented a report which included details in relation to progress on the 2022/23 Internal Audit Plan and highlighted that Appendix 1 to the report provided a summary of reports issued in January and February 2023.  The Appendix showed for each report the level of assurance given and the number of recommendations made/agreed where a full response had been received.  This provided an overall assessment of the system’s ability to meet its objectives and manage risk.

Appendix 2 to the report provided full details of the audits completed, those in progress/to be completed this year, and those that would be deferred.  The areas not completed in 2022/23 had been considered for inclusion in the 2023/24 Internal Audit Plan on a risk basis.

It was noted that no issues relating to fraud had been identified.

The Portfolio Holder for Finance thanked the Head of the Internal Audit Consortium and her Team for the hard work undertaken.

Moved by Councillor Tom Munro and seconded by Councillor Donna Hales

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
