Issue - meetings

To receive a report by the Internal Audit Manager.

The Internal Audit Manager presented the Annual Internal Audit Report 2017/18 with further detail in Appendix A.

She highlighted improvements to the RAG ratings of the ‘Summary of Internal Audit Work for the year 1 April 2017 – 31 March 2018’ document (Appendix A) and also the greater number of corporate initiatives now being audited.

Members discussed the issue as to ongoing ownership/responsibility of ‘system administration’, such as local system administrators, with more than one person assigned to review the systems and processes, and possible options for improving the matter.

The Internal Audit Manager agreed to include this risk on future Risk Registers, with an update, as requested by the Chairman, being provided at the next Audit Committee Meeting in November 2018. 

Resolved to:

1.    Note the Annual Internal Audit Report 2017/18.

2.    Include the System Administration risk in future Risk Registers.
