To consider adopting an Internal Audit Charter in accordance with Public Sector Internal Audit Standards and the relevant Local Government Application Note.

The Committee was requested to consider the adoption of an Internal Audit Charter in accordance with Public Sector Internal Audit Standards and the relevant Local Government Application Note.  A draft Charter had been considered by the Committee at its last meeting and, in the light of comments received, it had been amended and was now presented for approval.

The Charter formally defines the purpose, authority and responsibility of the internal audit activity within the Council.  It was noted that this had been discussed in the relevant Member/Officer Group and that there were no outstanding issues.
