Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Corporate Resources – Corporate Services which gives an overview of internal audit activity against assurance work completed in accordance with the approved audit plan and to provide an overview of the status of ‘live’ reports.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Corporate Resources – Corporate Services (Item 7 in the Minute Book) which provided an overview of internal audit activity against insurance work completed in accordance with the approved audit plan and “live” reports.

It was noted that the overdue actions relating to the Insurance Fund (page 7 of the report) and the Dorset Data Centre Security (page 8) had now been processed and cleared.

Members were advised that West Sussex County Council and New Forest District Council would be joining the Southern Internal Audit Partnership from April 2018, increasing its client/partner portfolio to 24 organisations. This would help build expertise and resilience within the Partnership and it was hoped this could be increased further with more local authorities coming on board.

RESOLVED:

That the Audit Progress report for the period to December 2017 be noted.
