Issue - meetings

The plan identified the audits scheduled for the third quarter of the year, which included Procurement, Tree Inspections, IT Application Management (CIVICA), Risk Management and Social Housing (New Consumer Standards). Assurance had been provided to SIAP by EMT that Officers would be available to assist with the completion of the audit reviews. 

In response to questions from the Council’s Independent Person, the following issues were clarified:

·         Social Housing had been included in the quarter 3 plan due to the legislative changes in the Social Housing Act and to ensure that the Council would comply with the new consumer standards when they came into force.

·         The Local Plan was contained in SIAP’s horizon scanning and conversations with Officers remained open regarding the risks associated to it.

·         The inclusion of performance management in future audit plans would be discussed with Officers.

R E S O L V E D – that the committee approved the Internal Audit Plan 2024/25 (Q3).
