The Audit and Risk Manager submitted a report (previously circulated) providing Members with the results of the external assessment of the Internal Audit service.

It was reported that an external peer review of the internal audit system was a requirement of the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards and must be performed at least once every four years and that, following that review, it had been concluded that the service complied with the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards.

RESOLVED – That the results of the external review be noted.
