Issue - meetings

(i)       to approve the rescheduling of audits relating to PECOS and the Fixed Asset Register so that they are scheduled to be reported to Committee in February 2018; and

(ii)      to otherwise note the content of the report.

The Committee had before it a report by the Internal Auditor which advised on Internal Audit’s progress against the approved 2016/17 and 2017/18 Internal Audit plans.

The report recommended:-

That the Committee -

(a)      approve the rescheduling of audits relating to PECOS and the Fixed Asset Register so that they are scheduled to be reported to Committee in February 2018; and

(b)      review, discuss and comment on the issues raised within the report and the attached appendices.

The Internal Auditor advised that the Internal Audit team had been understaffed due to resignations and that positions had been filled and training was underway.  This will mean that some of the audits scheduled for the November Committee meeting may be delayed.  There had also been delays in Services providing requested information and responding to draft reports which had impacted on progress. 

Councillor Cooke stated that it was important Services responded as requested and this was supported by the Committee.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to approve the rescheduling of audits relating to PECOS and the Fixed Asset Register so that they are scheduled to be reported to Committee in February 2018; and

(ii)      to otherwise note the content of the report.
