Issue - meetings

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Internal Audit Partnership regarding details of the work of the Internal Audit team between April and September 2013.

It was noted that the benefit fraud initiative was a national exercise which the Council facilitated on behalf of the Government.  It involved every Local Authority providing a range of data sets that are matched at a national level.

The Committee asked a number of questions of the Officers relating to:

·  Museum collections policy and procedures and adherence to those procedures;

·  Follow-up reports

·  Community Right to Challenge

·  Review of the location of CCTV cameras

The Committee thanked the Head of Internal Audit Partnership and his team for the good work done, especially while working under difficult circumstances and with a number of staff changes.

RESOLVED:

a)  That it be agreed the audit process is working effectively and that management is taking the necessary action to implement agreed audit recommendations.

b)  That a list of follow-up reports be circulated to the Members of the Committee.
