Report of the Head of Internal Audit.

The Sub-Committee received a report of the Head of Internal Audit and Risk Management updating on the work of Internal Audit that had been undertaken for the City of London Police since the last report to the committee in December 2015.

The Sub-Committee was informed that work on the 2015-16 planned internal audit plan, which included eight full reviews and two grant claim verifications, was nearing completion.

In response to a question concerning why the number of days allocated for each review was not given as it had been in previous years, the Head of Internal Audit and Risk advised that this was not always helpful as reviews could overrun, or more likely be completed early, and it was necessary to try and allocate the appropriate number of hours to each audit.

In response to a further question concerning whether the work would be completed by 31 March 2016, Members noted that resources were now in place to achieve this.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
