To receive a report from the Devon Audit Partnership presenting the Committee with the Internal Audit Charter and Strategy for the effective operation of the internal audit service.

The Committee had before it a report * from the Devon Audit Partnership presenting the Committee with the Internal Audit Charter and Strategy.

It was explained that one of the requirements of the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) was that the purpose, authority and responsibility of the internal audit activity must be formally defined in an internal audit charter, consistent with the Definition of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics and the Standards.

The Charter and Strategy were briefly considered in turn: It was therefore:

a)    RESOLVED that the revised Internal Audit Charter be approved.

(Proposed by the Chairman)

b)    RESOLVED that the revised Internal Audit Strategy be approved.

(Proposed by the Chairman)
