The Director of Finance submitted a report to the Audit and Risk Committee on the Internal Audit Plan for the financial year 2015-16 for approval, and sought views on priorities for Internal Audit work in the year ahead. The Committee were asked to consider and approve the Internal Audit Plan for 2015-16 and note the context and anticipated priorities for next year’s audit work, and to make such comments and recommendations as they saw fit. The report was presented by the Audit Manager.

The Committee Members were informed there were significant uncertainties that precluded the preparation of anything more than an indicative audit plan, including budget pressures faced by Internal Audit and the forthcoming organisational and staffing review, the continuing pursuit of external fee-earning work, and the continuing reorganisations of services subject to audit.

The Chair thanked the Audit Manager for the report.

The Committee received the report, and agreed the recommendations as set out in the report.

1.    consider and approve the Internal Audit plan for the financial year 2015-16, and note the context and anticipated priorities for the next year’s audit work.
