This report sets out progress against Internal Audit recommendations assigned a ‘Limited’ or ‘No Assurance’ opinion which remain outstanding with an updated management response.

The Committee considered a report setting out at Appendix 1 a tracker showing progress against audit recommendations for audits assigned a ‘Limited’ or ‘No Assurance’ opinion.  The tracker set out details of 19 audit recommendations where the associated management actions were overdue.

A verbal update was given at the meeting that the three recommendations relating to the Coroners Services would be removed from the tracker, as although some actions were still outstanding the substantial matters had been tested by a follow-up audit.

The Committee noted that the Risk Policy currently being developed would help shape the approach to prioritising the recommendations set out in the tracker.  It was also requested that, in the next iteration of the report, further detail be provided on the changed scope and updated timescales for recommendations arising from the audit of Supported Living.

Resolved –

That the report and the progress against the management actions to address the audit recommendations for audits assigned a ‘limited’ or ‘no assurance’ opinion be noted.
