To consider an update on the tracking of outstanding Internal Audit recommendations.

The Committee considered a report on the tracking of outstanding Internal Audit recommendations.

Points and comments included:

·         There was no update as there were no new high priority actions had become due in the time since the last meeting.

·         Those actions previously reported now had agreed future target implementation date.

·         There were fewer high priority actions being shown in the audits arising from Internal Audit work.  Therefore, Internal Audit proposed to undertake the routine follow up of all audit recommendation/action plans going forward.

·         The Head of Internal Audit and Risk suggested that detailed progress updates on high priority actions should continue and that he introduce at summary level a breakdown of implementation by category.

·         The Chairman asked for any suggestions regarding the streamlining or presentation of information to be passed to him so they could be discussed at his forthcoming meeting with the Head of Internal Audit and Risk.
