Internal Audit Annual Report 2020/21 Head of Internal Audit to report Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Head of Internal Audit, which summarised the work of Internal Audit during 2020/21 and presents the Head of Internal Audit’s opinion on the effectiveness of the Council’s overall control environment, governance and risk management for 2020/21.
Audit assurance opinions issued on the adequacy of the internal controls were recorded as ‘adequate’ or ‘substantial’ in 97% of cases. One audit was awarded a ‘limited’ assurance opinion. This did not relate to the programme of material financial system audit reviews and was awarded due to the relatively high number of high rated recommendations.
On this basis, the Head of Internal Audit concluded that an adequate level of assurance can be given that the Council's overall framework of governance, risk management and control remains appropriate and has been complied with.

That the report be noted. |
