Jaina Mistry, Principal Auditor introduced the report that presented a summary of the work undertaken by Internal Audit during 2023/24 and to give an overall opinion on levels of assurance resulting from this work.

It was to be noted that due to the information contained in the Internal Audit Annual Opinion, it was deemed unnecessary to submit a separate quarterly monitoring report. Instead, a condensed version of the usual report was produced which contained a summary of the work concluded since the last meeting of this Committee.

 

Based on various questions and queries from Members the following points were explained:

 

·         All outstanding actions were being dealt with and/or a work in progress.

·         Risk management training would be raised with the relevant team and would be answered at the next meeting.

·         In terms of taxi licensing procedure the Chair of the Miscellaneous Licensing Committee could approach Licensing Officers if they felt it was necessary.

·         It was suggested that a robust timeframe should be in the cover report in future.

 

RESOLVED that the Audit and Governance Committee AGREED to

1.    Consider the report and comments as necessary and to note the report.
