Minutes:

The Shared Internal Audit Services (SIAS) submitted their Annual Report for 2018/19.  The summary, written by the Head of the Shared Internal Service, praised the commitment and dedication of the team, external service providers and partners and explained that SIAS had achieved its overall performance targets despite a number of challenges. 

 

The SIAS Officer highlighted a number of key issues and said it was recommended that Performance, Audit and Governance Oversight Committee seek management assurance that the scope and resources for internal audit were not subject to inappropriate limitations in 2018/19.

 

The Financial Services Manager confirmed that the scope and resources for internal audit were not subject to inappropriate limitations in 2018/19.  He said that service resilience had been enhanced by having BDO (audit delivery partners) working with the SIAS as they had experience of IT Audits that the general auditors did not have.

 

It was proposed by Councillor A Alder and seconded by Councillor L Corpe that the Annual Report be received.  After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

 

RESOLVED – that the 2018/19 SIAS Annual Report be received.
