Decision details

The Internal Audit Manager outlined the Internal Audit Annual Report 2015/2016 which demonstrated how the authority fulfilled its statutory requirements to ‘maintain an adequate and effective system of internal audit of its accounting records and of its system of internal control in accordance with proper internal audit practices.’

The Committee queried:

a.    When the next corporate inspections would take place (Health and Safety) (p. 32).

b.    The need for more information on the issue of aged debt, i.e. breakdown of debt amounts relating to service areas and whether recoverable or not (p. 36).

The Committee also noted the importance of the need for clear outcomes now that Applied Resilience (AR) has been set up.

Resolved to note the Internal Audit Annual Report 2015-16.
