Issue - meetings

[To note the contents of the latest internal audit progress update].

Peter Farrow, Head of Audit, presented the report on the progress made

against the 2019 - 2020 internal audit plan and to provide information on recent work that has been completed.

The Committee were advised that only limited assurance could be given as a result of an audit on Employee Driver Checks which had flagged two recommended red actions, as the level of checks required by the current policy were not being complied with.

However, the process was currently under review and was being revised in order to introduce a more risk assessed approach. This would still require certain checks to be undertaken to confirm that employees had the appropriate level of business insurance to enable them to use their vehicles on Council business but would be less onerous.

Resolved:

That the contents of the latest internal audit update be noted.
