Agenda item

6.1

The Assistant Director of Finance submitted a report to the Committee.  Kayleigh Inman, Senior Finance Manager (Internal Audit) informed the Committee that the report provided an overview of the performance of Internal Audit for the year 2018/19 and gave an opinion on the adequacy of the Council’s systems of internal control and supported the Council’s Annual Governance Statement.

6.2

It was noted that the Assistant Director of ICT Service Delivery would attend the January meeting of the Committee to give an update on the insourcing of ICT.

6.3

Councillor Simon Clement-Jones queried whether the Council had adequate resources to carry out the number of audits required and the Senior Finance Manager explained that there was no standard minimum number of audits, so there was a need to balance risk and profile areas to ensure adequate coverage across the Portfolios.
