Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report which provided a summary of the current performance and workload of the Internal Audit Section.  The Head of Financial Services explained the background to the report and advised that future training on this would be provided.  

 

Following vacancies in the Audit Team resources, 80% of the 2007/08 Audit Plan had been completed within the financial year, which it was noted was still 5% above target.  Four audits had been deleted as agreed by the Audit Board, with four audits having been transferred to 2008/09.  Arrangements were being looked into with Worcester City Council for interim cover for the vacant management post and KPMG, the Council's former external auditors, were acting as consultants on the Payroll and Customer Service Centre audits, which the Audit Commission had advised would need to be completed.

 

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the current status and work completed on the 2007/08 Audit Plan be noted and approved;

(b)       that the work completed by the Internal Audit Section between March and May 2008 be noted;

(c)        that the summary of investigations completed by the Internal Audit Section be noted;

(d)       that the current Internal Audit Performance Indicator statistics be noted; and

(e)       that it be noted that there were no new or updated Internal Audit documents to report.
