To receive the Devon Audit Partnership Internal Audit Plan for 2023 – 2024.

The Committee had before it a report * from the Devon Audit Partnership setting out the Internal Audit Plan for 2023 – 2024.

It was explained that the plan was a live document and audits could be brought into it as and when required.

Consideration was given to:

·         A reduction in the number of available audit days compared to the previous plan. There was a financial implication to the Council if the number of days was increased. Reassurance was provided that the number of days stated would be enough to cover a good range of work and allow the required annual assurance opinion.

·         The effort being taken to address issues identified in the Building Control area with a new manager in post.

RESOLVED that the Internal Audit Plan for 2023 – 2024 be approved.

(Proposed by the Chairman)

Reason for the decision:

As set out in the report.
