Report of the Head of Internal Audit and Risk Management.

The Board received a report of the Head of Internal Audit and Risk Management providing Governors with details of the Internal Audit work undertaken at the School during the academic year ended 31^st July 2015 with the intention of providing them with an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management, control and governance, economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

The Principal reported that, with the agreement of the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Governors, the planned audit of Annual Enrolement would be postponed. He explained that an audit on this area had taken place last year and that its inclusion on the forthcoming plan arose as a result of a misunderstanding in Internal Audit who believed that this had to be undertaken annually. Governors were informed that an audit of Principal Studies would now replace this.

RESOLVED – That, Members note the work that internal audit have undertaken.
