Decision details

The Committee considered a report setting out details of the work undertaken by the Internal Audit Service against the Audit Plan for 2017/18 which had been approved by the Committee at its meeting on 26 June 2017.

It was noted that the Audit Plan set out a framework for the reports which the Committee would receive during the course of 2017/18 and the outcomes of a number of audits would be reported to the Committee in January 2018.

The Committee's attention was drawn to the likelihood that only limited assurance would be given for 2017/18 given a number of factors as set out in paragraph 2.2 of the report.

It was noted that the Internal Audit Service would be subject to an external quality assessment in November and that the Chair of the Committee would be meeting with the external assessor as part of that process. It was expected that the results of the assessment would be reported to the Committee in January 2018.

Resolved: - That the report be noted.
