Minutes:
Members considered a report which provided an update on the progress against the internal audit plan for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 July 2015 and a summary of counter fraud work for the first quarter of 2015/16. The report was introduced by Steve Tinkler (Head of Shared Audit Service) who gave an update on the progress against the internal audit plan as well as a progress report on delivery status and fraud.
Members noted that progress to date on the 2015/16 internal audit plan was currently below the profiled target for quarter 1, due to the significant work required to finalise the outstanding 14/15 audits, during the quarter. He drew members’ attention to the appendix to the report which summarised the assurance reports from the 2014/15 plan and had been finalised since the last meeting of the committee.
The Head of Shared Audit Service added that a number of reports were at a draft report stage and would be reported to the next meeting of the committee in January 2016. He added a number of assignments were currently in progress and it was anticipated that significant improvement in performance would be made during quarter two.
RESOLVED:
that the progress report be noted.
