Issue - meetings

The Shared Internal Audit Service submitted a report detailing the internal audit progress in delivering the audit plan as at 6 July 2018, proposed amendments to the approved Internal Audit Plan, and the status of previously agreed internal audit recommendations.  Additionally, the report provided an update on performance management information up to 6 July 2018 and detailed revised assurance definitions / priority levels.  The SIAS Officer provided a summary of the report.

Members referred to the issue of cyber security and the limited assurance level which had been given.  The status of high priority recommendations were discussed including IT Disaster Recovery (Post Incident).  The Committee Chairman suggested that Members be provided with further information on cyber security and within the context of disaster recovery and that this be added to the Work Programme for 2018/19.  This was supported.

It was moved by Councillor P Ballam and seconded by Councillor J Wyllie that the recommendations, including the inclusion of cyber security and disaster recovery in the work programme, as detailed be supported.  After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the recommendations were declared CARRIED.
