The Committee received a report advising it of the internal audit assurance level for 2015/16 and providing a summary of the performance of internal audit for that year.

The Committee noted the following matters with regard to the report:

a)            Procurement actions. The Committee was informed that the majority of management actions which had not yet been implemented related to the Council’s procurement arrangements, and that these were in the process of being addressed. Some actions had been superseded by updated processes, and these had been identified by the Corporate Risk & Governance Manager.

b)            Auditor’s draft reports. The Committee noted that only 44% of draft reports had been released by the internal auditor within the 10 day target. The Internal Auditor acknowledged that this target had not been met.

Following this, the Committee noted the Internal Audit Assurance Report for 2015/16.
