This report provides an update on key findings emanating from Internal Audit reports issued since the last quarterly progress report in September 2018.

Paul Harrington, Chief Auditor, submitted a reportproviding an update on key findings emanating from Internal Audit reports issued since the last quarterly progress report in September 2018.

The report set out a summary of the audit reports in respect of Delayed Transfer of Care; Continuing Healthcare; Revenue Budget Setting (Hyperion); Journal Testing Q2; Residents’ Parking; Declarations of Interest, Employee Gifts and Hospitality; Bus Subsidy Grant 2017/18; Transport Capital Grant funding 2017/18; and Commercial Lease (Nursery).  The report stated that audit reviews specific to children and education, including schools, would be reported directly to Brighter Futures for Children (BFfC).  The audits of Delayed Transfers; Continuing Healthcare; and Residents’ Parking had been given limited assurance, and the full audit reports were therefore attached as appendices.

The report also listed the audits that were currently in progress, or were planned for the remainder of 2018/19, and gave a summary of investigations work between April and December 2018.

Resolved:    That the report be noted.
