To consider report 87/11 of the audit manager. 

This report proposes an internal audit plan for 2012/13. 

Reporting officer: Adrianna Partridge

The committee considered report 87/11 of the audit manager, which asked the committee to approve the audit plan for 2012/13.  This would allow internal audit to properly plan its work throughout the year.  The audit manager compiled the draft audit plan after assessing risks for each service, consulting managers, and allocating higher priority audits in accordance with the resources available.  The committee agreed that the presentation of audit allocation table should be reviewed for the 2013/14 audit plan, to include a further breakdown of lost days. 

The audit manager agreed to assess areas that had not been included within the schedule of auditable activity (e.g. food safety and legal services), to ensure that external reviews of those areas were comprehensive.

RESOLVED: to approve the internal audit annual plan 2012/13.
