Issue - meetings

The Shared Internal Audit Service (SIAS) submitted a report detailing the progress made by SIAS in delivering the Council’s Annual Audit Plan for 2016/17 (as at 2 September 2016).  The report proposed amendments to the approved 2016/17 Audit Plan and detailed the status of previously agreed high priority audit recommendations.  The report provided an update on performance management information.  The SIAS Officer provided an overview of the report.

In response to a query from Councillor P Kenealy regarding the absence of the Business Continuity Plan, the Chief Executive explained that the recent restructure had impacted on the plan moving forward, but that one of the two Directors now had responsibility for this.  Members supported the suggestion that this issue be added to the Committee’s work programme and that the Director be invited to the next meeting to provide a detailed update.

RESOLVED – that (A) the Internal Audit Progress report as now submitted be noted;

(B)   high priority recommendations already implemented, be removed from the plan; and

(C)  the Business Continuity Plan be added to the work programme for the next meeting and the responsible Director be invited to provide an update.
