20/03/2019 - Internal Audit Plan 2019/20 ref: 7790    For Determination

Decision Maker: Governance Committee

Made at meeting: 20/03/2019 - Governance Committee

Decision published: 01/04/2019

Effective from: 20/03/2019

Decision:

The Interim Head of Shared Assurance Services submitted a report that sought approval of the 2019/20 Internal Audit Plan for Chorley and Shared Services. This had been compiled by undertaking a detailed risk assessment which was appended to the report.

 

The plan was based on a resource of 340 days for Chorley Council and 120 days for Shared Services and comprised of a mix of existing in-house resources and bought-in provision from Lancashire County Council and Merseyside Internal Audit Agency (IT Audit).

 

Members were reassured that the core work continued to be delivered. Following approval of the 2019/20 Internal Audit Plan, any additions or changes could be made to the plan if required.

 

Members queried why the elections had been given a high-risk rating. Officers advised that this was due to financial, reputational and legal impacts as well as Brexit uncertainty which meant that the council could have to take part in European Elections. Reassurances were given that plans were in place to mitigate any risks. Members commended the exceptional work carried out by the council’s Elections team.

 

DECISION – That the 2019/20 Internal Audit Plan be approved.
