Issue details

The attached assurance map is an effective tool providing useful insights for both Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) and members of the Council’s audit committee. By allowing the key decision-makers to take appropriate comfort from the assurance provided, these maps maximise the value of that assurance for the whole Stockport Council operational framework.

The development and use of the map ensures compliance with best practice in line with Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIA) and ensures a robust approach to the audit planning process to both identify key risk areas to the Council and also the effectiveness of assurance coverage.
