To receive the 2018/19 Audit and Investigation Plan.

The Committee considered the 2018/19 Audit and Investigation Plan.  The report detailed the 2018/19 Internal Audit and Investigation Plan and the 2018/19 Internal Audit scopes for each review, excluding Key Operational audits.

During the discussion of this item the following points were made:

·         Members were advised that 250 days were proposed for fraud and investigation work as opposed to 200.

·         Councillor Bray asked whether the Housing Rents audit would cover Council tenants and tenants of properties of the Council’s housing companies.  The Assistant Director Governance indicated that this was likely.

·         Councillor Pollock questioned whether 8 days would be sufficient for work on Debtors.  The Assistant Director Governance commented that follow up work on Debtors was also being undertaken in Q4 of the current financial year so this was thought to be sufficient.

RESOLVED:  That the 2018-19 Audit and Investigation Plan be agreed.
