Issue - meetings

Members considered a quarterly update from Assurance Lincolnshire, internal auditors for West Lindsey District Council.

At the time the report was published, there was one report at draft stage, in respect of cyber security.  The final report on this would be due in the third quarter of 2020/2021.  At present, there were four audits in progress.

The profile target had been adjusted to reflect that work would be completed in three quarters of the year rather than four.

There were no outstanding audit actions.

Members then provided comment on the report and asked questions of officers.  Further information was provided:

·         The follow up to the Food Safety, Environmental Protection and Enforcement audit was given high assurance;

·         If an audit was at ‘field work’ stage, this would mean that it was a work in progress;

·         The ICT Cyber Security audit was at draft report stage because it was going through an approval process.  As it was a joint audit with North Kesteven, approval would be sought from both councils.

The report was moved, seconded, and following a vote it was unanimously RESOLVED to agree the content of the report.
