Agenda item

10.1

The Senior Finance Manager, Internal Audit, submitted a report presenting to the Committee the outcomes of a mid-year review of Internal Audit’s annual workplan.

10.2

Kayleigh Inman, Senior Finance Manager, Internal Audit, introduced the report and commented that the service had not been able to deliver many of the planned audits due to changes within the services that were to be audited.

10.3

There had been a number of vacancies within the Internal Audit team as a result of internal secondments. There were, however, sufficient mitigations in place for all vacancies. Any audits deferred would be back in the planning process for the 2018/19 plan.

10.4

In response to questions from Members of the Committee, Ms. Inman responded that the issue of vacancies had been a result of resources being required elsewhere and the internal secondments which had taken place as a result. This issue would be reduced in the future and the Internal Audit team would have sufficient resources to carry out the work planned.

10.5

RESOLVED: That:-

(a) the Committee notes the report, now submitted; and

(b) the Committee agrees the revised Internal Audit 2017/18 work plan included in the report.
