This report summarises progress against the audit plan for 2016/17.

The Committee received a report summarising the progress against the audit plan for 2016/17.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Correction to page 16 of the agenda – Risk Management actions. The Internal Auditor informed the Committee that there was a typing error on the summary of the Risk Management audit assignment. The actions of the audit were corrected to read: 2 medium actions, 1 Low action. The number of high actions remained unchanged (none).

b)            Audit of Creditors – invoice authorisation limit exceeded. Following a question regarding the incident in which an invoice authorisation limit had been exceeded, the Head of Corporate Governance informed the Committee that the financial limit had not been exceeded by a significant amount. It was noted that further information regarding the exact amount would be provided to the Chairman and committee member who raised the question.

c)            Monitoring of building control performance indicators. The Committee noted that in response to the finding of the Building and Planning Control audit assignment that performance indicators were not monitored by senior officers, an action had been agreed to put monitoring in place.
