Internal Audit Progress Report

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decisions:

The Committee considered a report by MAZARS Public Sector Internal Audit Limited regarding the Internal Audit Progress Report 19/20 (circulated previously).

 

The Committee was advised of the following in relation to the Internal Audit Progress Report 19/20:

 

·         The report set out the current position in respect of the audits being undertaken in 2019/20. 

·         There were 19 audits in the plan. Of these one was currently in draft and two others were still in progress.

·         MAZARS had been slightly behind schedule due to personnel issues but these had now been resolved and the backlog was being worked on.  They were happy that the works would be completed by the end of the year.

 

In response to a question from the Committee, the Internal Auditor explained that although there were three audits listed as ‘High Risk’ these would still be completed within the planned timescale. Audit ‘Main Accounting System and Budgetary Control’ had already been started and it was not expected that there would be any delay. 

 

The Head of Resources advised the Committee that, should any extensions be required to the audit, these would be requested and audit recommendations monitored via the Audit Recommendation Tracker.

 

RESOLVED that:

 

a)    the Head of Resources would alert the Committee of any possible further delays to the Auditors work; and

 

b)    the Internal Audit Progress report for 19/20 be noted.
