Minutes:
The Committee had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Internal Audit Team Leader updating it on the work performed by Internal Audit for the 20105/16 financial year.
She outlined the contents of the report stating that it included the audit opinion for 4 internal audits relating to Payroll, Housing Rents, Grants and Donations and Gifts and Hospitality. She stated that the Council Tax and NNDR internal audit was complete and the Treasury and Cash Collection were almost finished.
There were no overdue outstanding high priority audit recommendations at this time which was mentioned as being an improvement worthy of note. 15% of all recommendations were overdue compared to 39% reported last time.
The Chairman commented that there was still one outstanding action from 2012 in relation to Standby. It was explained that this was to do with risk assessments for Standby Operatives and a decision was awaited on the out of hour’s telephone call back procedure before this could be completed.
Overall, progress was being made and required actions were being managed in a far more proactive way.
