The Audit Manager presented the report noting that just over 50% of the work had been completed, with 15 audits resulting in substantial assurance and 2 with limited assurance and 7 additional reviews also having taken place. In regards to the 6 overdue actions these had been escalated to directors.

Members expressed concern that the areas of limited assurance were areas which had been re-occurring issues previously and officers advised that a report would be brought to a future Committee to advise members how this re-occurrence would be prevented going forward.

RESOLVED: That members noted the report and commented upon matters arising from the Internal Audit Progress Report.
