Issue - meetings

The Internal Audit Consortium Manager presented a report for members to consider and agree the Internal Audit Plan for 2019/20.

The detailed plan for 2019/20 was attached at Appendix B to the report and had been prepared in consultation with the Senior Leadership Team and the Corporate Management Team, taking into account the following factors:

·        The Council’s objectives and priorities;

·        Local and national issues and risks;

·        The requirement to produce an annual internal audit opinion;

·        The Council’s assurance framework;

·        An update of the internal audit risk assessment exercise covering the financial control and other procedures subject to audit;

·        The Council’s strategic risk register;

·        The views of the Corporate Management Team.

The plan outlined the assignments to be carried out during 2019/20, their respective priorities and the estimated resources needed. The plan allocated 560 days to Chesterfield Borough Council for 2019/20, which was the same allocation as in the previous three years.

The Internal Audit Consortium Manager was satisfied that the plan would provide sufficient data to form an audit opinion.

*RESOLVED –

That the Internal Audit Plan for 2019/20 be agreed.
