Chris Wood, Shared Internal Audit Service, presented the SIAS Progress Report 2022/23 and highlighted points including:

• There is a slight error in the report. On page 97 15% plan days is stated, but on a table further down it is reported that it is 16% and both should read 16%. Looking at the performance figures from last week it has moved to 21% since this report was written a few weeks ago.
• There is a table showing when the audits are due to start and quite a few are due to start in quarter 2 and 3.
• There have been three final audit reports issued which FAR Committee Members have received
• There is a health and safety of lone workers audit that is still at a draft report stage
• There are only three high priority recommendations. They haven’t been followed up yet and have implementation dates in March 2023. Hopefully these will be followed up by the next meeting
• There have been 6 audit plan changes. Most of these are a reallocation and reprioritisation of days and times rather than any new audits.

There were no further questions from Members.

Councillor Terry Tyler proposed and Councillor Terry Hone seconded and, following a vote, it was:

RESOLVED: That the Committee:
