Issue - meetings

The purpose of this progress report is to inform members of the work completed by Internal Audit between 1 October 2019 and 31 December 2019.

Witnesses:

David John, Audit Manager

Key points raised during the discussion:

1.     The Audit Manager introduced the report and provided a brief summary. The report summarised Internal Audits completed between October and September 2019. Members noted a correction on page 94 of the agenda where it displayed three ‘reasonable assurances’ and two ‘non opinions’. This was incorrect as there should be four ‘reasonable assurances’ and one 'non opinion’.  

2.     A Member of the Committee highlighted that he was waiting for a response to a query on a recent Traffic Light Audit. Officers agreed to contact the Member outside the meeting.

3.     A Member highlighted that only a small proportion of Audits received a substantial assurance response. Officers stated that this was expected due to the Audit Plan being risk focused.

Action/Further information to note:

None.

RESOLVED:

The Committee is asked to note the report and consider any further action required inthe response to issues raised.
