The Internal Auditor from Leicestershire County Council presented an overview of the report on Progress against Internal Audit Plans 2022-23 and 2022-23 and 2023-24 and the Internal Audit Annual Report 2022-23 which was a two-part report. Part one provided a routine progress against the plans report and part two was the Head of Internal Audit’s Annual Report.

As part of the discussions, it was noted that:

·         Members of the Committee were pleased that overall, the report was positive.

·         Members queried the high importance recommendations and requested an update on CCTV to be provided in January 2024 which had a target date of December 2023 and in response Members were reassured that a progress report would be provided as soon as it was available.

·         Resiliency testing of the ICT Controls were ongoing after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as there was a clear danger and Anti-Virus approaches had changed.

RESOLVED:

That the contents of the report be noted, and the comments raised by the Committee be considered.
