Minutes:

The committee considered the audit manager’s report on internal audit activity in the third quarter 2013/14, covering the period October to December 2013.  Of the audits referred to in the report, five had received a full assurance rating from internal audit, and four had received a satisfactory assurance rating.  The report also referred to four follow-up audits, one of which had received full assurance rating and three had received satisfactory assurance.  The committee was pleased to note that no audits had received a limited or nil assurance rating. 

 

The committee also noted that the number of system control weaknesses had reduced since the last meeting.  This was due to internal audit completing several key financial audits and follow up reviews.  However, the audit manager reported that he still believed the incidence of these weaknesses was too high and he intended to review these before the next committee meeting to determine whether service managers had completed any outstanding internal audit recommendations.  The committee agreed to review the systemic control weaknesses again at its next meeting to determine whether to call line managers before the committee to answer councillors’ questions. 

 

RESOLVED: to

 

(a)               note the internal audit activity report; and

 

(b)               review the systemic control weaknesses at the next committee meeting to determine whether to call relevant line managers before the committee to answer councillors’ questions.
