Issue - meetings

To consider an updated Work Plan.

The Committee considered an updated Work Plan.

The Committee was asked to note that the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards came into effect on 1^st April 2013. CIPFA would provide guidance on the application of the new standards in the form of the Local Government Application Note (due in March 2013). It was therefore the intention to carry out a review of the current Internal Audit Terms of Reference and Internal Audit Strategy against the standards and guidance with a view to bringing a report to the Committee in June 2013.

RESOLVED

(1)  the changes to the Work Plan since the last meeting be noted;

(2)  the Work Plan be amended as follows:

(a)  as agreed earlier in the meeting, references to Lyme Green Action Plan be deleted from future meetings;

(b)  the following be added to the agenda for the meeting in March 2013:

§  Project Management Progress Report

§  Single Legal Entity

§  Training for Standards Assessments and Hearings

(3)  it be noted that the Work Plan will be re-submitted to the Committee periodically for further development and approval.
