Decision:

That the report be noted.

Minutes:

The Principal Auditor presented the results of the annual assessment of conformance with the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards.  The outcome of the internal self-assessment for 2017/18 and external assessment for 2016/17 indicated general conformance.  The only non-conformance was on the need to undertake an assurance mapping exercise, which was scheduled for completion by March 2019.  Other actions to address areas of partial conformance were set out in the action plan, including a review of the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Strategy which would be brought to a future meeting of the Committee.

 

The Chief Officer (Governance) referred to the Committee’s self-assessment which was currently being completed.  Given the new membership of the Committee, he suggested that a half-day facilitated workshop could help members to complete the questionnaire and also provide an opportunity to review the Forward Work Programme.  This was supported by the Committee.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the report be noted.
