Report of the Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services

The Committee considered the report of the Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services on the Council’s follow-up of Audit Agreed Actions.

The Chief Internal Auditor (CIA) presented the report indicating that in accordance with Public Sector Internal Audit Standards, the CIA must “establish and maintain a system to monitor the disposition of results communicated to management; and a follow-up process to monitor and ensure that management actions have been effectively implemented or that senior management has accepted the risk of not taking action”.

The report indicated that for Sefton Council, the follow up of agreed action plans included the monitoring of progress of agreed actions through internal audit and periodically reporting progress to the Audit and Governance Committee; and the report summarised the current implementation position and arrangements for monitoring and reporting internal audit recommendations.

RESOLVED:

That the progress on the Council’s follow-up of Audit Agreed Actions outlined in the report be noted.
