Agenda item

9.1

Kayleigh Inman, Senior Finance Manager (Internal Audit) presented the report which informed Committee of the outcomes of the mid-year review of the annual work plan.

9.2

There had been a significant change to the plan due to sickness levels and staff shortage within the department.  A recruitment exercise had been unsuccessfully undertaken to try to ease the burden on existing staff.  The number of audits to be undertaken was to be reduced by 22% and it was hoped that the department would be fully staffed for the end of the 2019/20 financial year.  Each portfolio still had coverage and key risk areas would be audited.        

9.3

RESOLVED: That (1) the report be noted; and

(2) the revised19/12 work plane be agreed.
