description
Section 4 of The Practitioners' Guide 2024 (and future versions) sets out the basic requirements for conduct of an effective internal audit review of an authority's financial and governance records and controls facilitating the completion of the Internal Audit Report in an authority's Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR). We would expect these as a minimum requirement of the internal audit services.
In the case that the internal audit is not able to confirm compliance, there is the expectation that these instances of non-compliance will be included in an internal audit report containing practical recommendations for improvement.
It will be expected that the internal audit service provider will be effective and add value. In addition to the work required to sign the relevant section of the AGAR, it is expected that the internal auditor service provider will: -
| 1. | Prepare an annual audit plan which will be discussed with the Town Clerk and tabled at a Policy and Resources Committee meeting so that there can be additional input and oversight into the internal audit procedures that need to be carried out. |
| 2. | Have significant experience of auditing local and parish councils' sector and will be able to highlight latest best practice in the sector. |
| 3. | Have sufficient capacity to complete their work by no later than 31 May each year. |
