To consider the interim internal audit manager’s report. 

The Interim Internal Audit Manager explained that the quarterly report picked up on the remaining work from 2021. Six reports were finalised with three at draft stage and they were the outstanding reports from the previous year. Three follow up reports were completed with some still required to be completed. It was added that three reports relating to proactive anti-fraud, council tax, and capital management, were given limited assurance.

The Revenues and Benefits Client Manager explained that £80 million had been paid out for grants and test and trace payments, which had been a significantly heavy workload. The officer also explained that they had always previously reviewed exemptions discounts on an annual basis. 

RESOLVED: to note the interim internal audit manager’s report.
