The Committee considered a report by MAZARS Public Sector Internal Audit Limited regarding the Internal Audit Charter (circulated previously).

The Committee was advised of the following in relation to the Internal Audit Charter:

• The Charter was provided by the internal auditors on an annual basis.  The document provided the details of the Charter and clearly identified each area of responsibility and lines of defence.
• The Charter was a fairly generic document as provided to all councils although there would be small amendments to account for details specific to the individual council’s governance etc.

RESOLVED that the Internal Audit Charter be noted.
