The Committee noted the work of Internal Audit during 2024/25 and considered the annual Internal Audit Assurance Opinion that can be used by the Council to inform its Annual Governance Statement.
Overall, 72% of the planned audits were complete or awaiting finalisation as at the year-end, below the 90% target. Audit completion to 31 March 2025 was negatively impacted by a combination of the lag of overdue audits from 2023/24 impacting on completion in the first quarter of 2024/25 and a period of sickness within the team in the fourth quarter.
