Issue - meetings

The Internal Audit Consortium Manager presented the results of the self-assessment of the committee and an action plan to cover the points raised in the survey.

Members highlighted the need for additional training for new members of the committee following the initial sessions, after they had participated in more than one meeting, in order to provide further context and understanding.

Discussion took place around the number of reports considered by the committee that are Value for Money related and the Internal Audit Consortium Manager advised that VFM issues are largely covered by the committee’s review of the Code of Corporate Governance and the Annual Governance Statement. Internal audit would draw the committee’s attention to any VFM issues arising during the course of internal audits.

RESOLVED –

1.    That the self-assessment results / action plan be approved.

2.    That a further self-assessment be undertaken in a years’ time
