A representative of the Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out the quality assurance arrangements in place for internal audit for 2018/2019 including the self-assessment results of the QIAP for 2017/18 and the proposed basis that the Head of Internal Audit, Risk and Insurance will use for the external assessment of the Council’s internal audit function, which is required under the PSIAS.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         The Committee heard that the QAIP covered all aspects of internal audit activity which enabled conformance with the PSIAS to be evaluated and that the results are reported to Audit Committee as part of the Improvement Plan included in the Annual Internal Audit report.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
