Decision:
That the report be noted.
Minutes:
The Interim Internal Audit Manager presented a report on the external assessment of the Internal Audit service against the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) which had been undertaken by the Chief Internal Auditor of Ceredigion County Council.
The findings of the assessment reported that the service conformed to 329 of the Standards, with four partially conforming. The one area of non-conformance had previously been identified as part of the self-assessment and the assessor had deemed the impact as not significant. Six suggestions for further improvement had been noted for action.
The Chief Officer (Governance) advised that the assessor had commented on the service meeting the spirit of requirements in some cases where full conformance had not been achieved.
Sally Ellis asked about ICT assurance and was advised that this would form part of the assurance mapping process.
RESOLVED:
That the report be noted.
