Minutes:

The Head of Audit Partnership introduced his report which provided the biennial opportunity for the Committee to review and approve the Internal Audit Charter.  The Head of Audit Partnership explained that the Charter was a key document setting out the roles and responsibilities of the Council’s Internal Audit Service and its relationships with Officers and Members.  As there had been no significant updates in the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards or requirements since the Charter was last reviewed in 2019, and mindful of the fully conforming External Quality Assessment from CIPFA in 2020, no material changes were proposed to the document.

 

The Chairman took the opportunity to endorse the work of the Internal Audit Service.

 

RESOLVED:  That Internal Audit Charter, attached as Appendix 1 to the report of the Head of Audit Partnership, be approved.
