Issue - meetings

The Board received a report from the Divisional Manager – Audit, Procurement and Operational Finance, updating them on the internal audit activity since the last progress report to the Board on 22 March 2023.   It also highlighted any matters that were relevant to the Board’s responsibilities as the Council’s Audit Committee.

Members were referred to appendix one, which listed all the planned work for the year and the current status.  It was noted that the schedule of audit would be updated for future meetings to reflect the progress made in completing audits and any reprioritisation of work or enforced changes.

It was noted that by the end of May 2023, 192 days of audit work had been completed which represented approximately 16% of the total planned days for the year. The team was currently fully staffed and was making good progress finalising work from 2022/23 and in progressing planned work for 2023/24.

 Appended to the report were the executive summaries of the reports issued numbering 2 to 18, as listed in paragraph 4.2.

RESOLVED:  That the Internal Audit Progress Report and comments made be noted.
