Mr Chris Williams, Head of Internal Audit at RSM, the Council’s internal auditors attended the meeting to present the Internal Audit Progress Report. It was noted that this was the first report for the financial year 2018/19. The report provided information on the current position on the audit programme, along with any significant recommendations with regards to the audits completed during this period. The report highlighted the completion and issue of five reports since April 2018: Risk Management, Business Continuity, General Data Protection Regulations, Council Tax and Asset Investment. It was noted that the programme was on track and all assignments had received a positive assurance with no high or medium risk recommendations and that any mitigating actions recommended had been agreed by management for implementation.

 

The Chairman requested further information in relation to the Business Continuity report. The Executive Manager – Finance and Corporate Services advised that he did not have that information available at the meeting, but advised he would circulate the information to the group after the meeting.

 

The Chairman and members of the Group thanked Mr Williams for attending the meeting and for answering their questions.

 

It was RESOLVED that:

 

a)    the report be noted.

 

b)    further information on the Business Continuity report be circulated to members of the Group.
