Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Head of Audit, Procurement and Operational Finance, which summarised the work completed by Internal Audit during 2024/25, provided his annual opinion on the Council’s risk management, control and governance processes and outlined how Internal Audit complied with the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) throughout the year.

          The PSIAS required the Head of Internal Audit to produce an annual report that included an overall opinion to support the Council’s Annual Governance Statement.

 RESOLVED:  That the Board receives and notes this report as a source of independent assurance on the effectiveness of the Council’s risk management control and governance arrangements during 2024/25.
