2020/21 Annual Audit and Investigation Plan In Year Review

The Council’s 2020/21 Internal Audit and Investigation Plan details the proposed Internal Audit and Investigation activity and seeks to:
• provide key stakeholders with independent assurance that the risks within the Council’s fundamental systems and processes are being effectively and efficiently managed;
• allow the Council to demonstrate it is complying with the relevant legislation and applicable professional standards;
• demonstrate the Council’s commitment to good governance and a zero tolerance approach towards fraud and corruption; and
• set out that the Team’s resources are being properly utilised.

The originally approved Plan has been updated to refocus and reprioritise audit and investigation activityin light of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the council’s control and governance processes, with the aim of providing an overall Head of Audit opinion on these processes at year end.
