To receive and approve the Summary Internal Audit Plan for 2023/24.

The committee received a report from the Director of Governance and Compliance that provided a summary of the Internal Audit Plan 2023/24.

The preparation and delivery of the annual Internal Audit Plan, the annual opinion on the organisation’s arrangements for governance, risk and internal control, and the assurances these provide to the Annual Governance Statement are key indicators and contributors for the Council’s corporate objectives as an open and enabling organisation.

RESOLVED:

(1)  Approve the Internal Audit Plan 2023/24;

(2)  Noted that the plan details priority work during quarters 1 and 2 along with additional areas for consideration during quarters 3 and 4. Progress against the plan, and the priorities for the last 6 months will be reported back as part of the regular updates to the committee.
