To consider the report of the Chief Officer Resources.

Consideration was given to the report of the Audit & Risk Manager.

The Professional Lead Internal Audit presented the revised Internal Audit Charter for 2021/22 to the Committee.

The Officer went through the report and highlighted points contained therein.  The report outlined the basis for production of the Internal Audit Charter, incorporating amendments to reflect changes since the last update.

In response to a question raised by a Member regarding future changes to the Committee membership, the Audit & Risk Manager explained that the Terms of Reference for the Committee would reflect the changes in membership.  This document outlined how the Internal Audit Section operated in terms of its purpose and responsibilities.

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the Committee approve the Audit Charter in line with good practice and the requirements of the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS).
