The Head of Internal Audit submitted a report inviting members to review and approve the Council’s Internal Audit Charter as required under the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards and as requested by Members. These standards provided the mandatory guidance that constituted the principles of the fundamental requirements for the professional practice of internal auditing within the public sector and for the evaluation of the effectiveness of Internal Audit’s performance.

Nick Hobbs, the Head of Internal Audit, drew the Committee’s attention to the changes on the previous year, which mostly related to variations in job titles.

Resolved: That, having reviewed the Internal Audit Charter as attached at Appendix 1, it be approved.
