[To provide the outline work programme for internal audit for 2019/2020]

Amanda McDonald, Client Lead Auditor, City of Wolverhampton Council presented an outline work programme for the Fund’s internal audit for 2019/2020.  Internal audit was a key part of the Fund’s governance and financial control framework, and aimed to provide assurance that the Fund’s systems, processes and controls were operating effectively and in support of the Fund’s overall aims and objectives.

The Chair asked about milestones during the year for the programme and whether the Committee would be informed of any areas of concern if they arise during the audit process. The Client Lead Auditor reported that the internal audit plan was agreed with the Fund’s senior officers and progressed during the year. At the end of the year Internal Audit would report back to the Committee on progress made with the implementation of the plan. Any issues of significance that are highlighted during the audit would be reported to the Committee.

Resolved:

That the internal audit plan for 2019/2020 be noted.
