Councillors were updated on the Internal Audit Plan for 2020/21. The Public Sector Internal Audit Standards requires the Chief Audit and Control Officer to prepare an annual risk based audit plan. The Internal Audit Plan governs the activity for the year. An audit report is produced at the completion of each assignment with recommendations for improvement. Regular progress reports covering all internal audit activities are submitted to this Committee for scrutiny. The impact of employees working from home was discussed, with no negative consequences so far.
RESOLVED that the Internal Audit Plan for 2020/21 be approved.
