The Shared Internal Audit Service (SIAS) submitted a report setting out the requirements of the Public Sector Internal Audit Service Standards (PSIAS) and the need to adopt an Audit Charter, which set out the framework within which internal audit discharges its responsibilities to those charged with governance in the Council.

In response to a query from Councillor J Wyllie, the SIAS explained that there had not been any limitations placed on them.

The Committee approved the report.
