Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Divisional Manager, Audit, Procurement and Operational Finance, which provided Members with a summary of internal audit work completed since the last progress report on 18th November 2020 The report also highlighted matters relevant to the Board’s responsibilities as the Council’s Audit Committee.
It was reported previously that COVID-19, had had a significant impact on the work of Internal Audit in 2020/21. There had been a continuation of Covid-19 related audit work since the last progress report with support provided in respect of the range of grant and relief payment schemes introduced by Government. Overall, internal audit coverage in 2020/21 would be less than planned, primarily due to the team providing operational support to other business areas, particularly in the early stages of the pandemic.
On behalf of the Board the Chair thanked Councillors Roberts and MacManus for their contribution to the Board and wished them well for the future.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
