Issue - meetings

The Internal Audit Consortium Manager presented a summary of the results of the 2018/19 National Fraud Initiative for Chesterfield Borough Council. No fraud was identified. Three instances of duplicate creditor payments were discovered and each of these have been refunded. The external auditor suggested that it might be appropriate to carry out internal matching as an annual check. He reassured the committee that the duplicate payments were an anomaly in an otherwise reasonable assurance.

*RESOLVED –

That the report be noted.
