To consider the Internal Audit Charter 2024-25.

The Committee considered the Internal Audit Charter 2024-25 presented by Neil Pitman, Head of Southern Internal Audit Partnership. In accordance with the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) all internal audit activities were expected to maintain an ‘internal audit charter.’ This defined the purpose, authority, and responsibility for the internal audit service consistent with the Definition of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics, and the Standards. Neil Pitman highlighted that as part of the charter, members could refer to a list of definitions referenced throughout the report for clarity. A list of Audit reports which members could expect to be received over the year were also referenced within the charter for a full understanding.

The Committee resolved to approve the Internal Audit Charter 2024-25.
