Internal Audit Recommendation Follow up

Report of the Head of Internal Audit and Risk Management.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Head of Internal Audit and Risk Management which provided an update on the outcome of a recent follow-up exercise focussed on red and amber priority recommendations due for implementation by 30 April 2018.   

 

Members noted that the City of London Police has agreed to accept two of the risks in respect of seized goods and therefore asked to look at this matter again, in September 2019, with the Commissioner in attendance.  Members accepted that seizures subject to the Proceeds of Crime Act might take longer.

 

The Deputy Chairman (external Member) commended a helpful report and reiterated the importance of target dates being realistic and without repeat requests for extensions.  The Head of Internal Audit confirmed that he had made Members expectations very clear in this respect, and there had been a reduction in carry forwards in some cases but more significant projects, such as the IT Transformation Programme, might take longer.  

 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
