To note the Internal Audit Progress Report and the Status of Critical and High Priority Recommendations.

The Committee received the Shared Internal Audit Service (SIAS) 2018/19 progress report for the period to 2 November 2018.

The Committee was advised that, since the issue of the report, the number of SIAS planned/billable days had increased from 178.5 to 185.

The SIAS Client Audit Manager confirmed that the dates pertaining to the Mobile Device Management and BYOD and TSS Improvement Plan Governance Audits, shown as May and June 2018 respectively, were the start dates for these audits.  Final reports had not yet been issued due to the complexities of both of these audits.

The Committee noted that High Priority Audit Recommendations set out in the report related to CCTV and Cyber Security, and that Management Responses had been provided against each recommendation.

In respect of the CCTV recommendations, the Committee was informed that a shareholder review was taking place of the effectiveness of both the Joint CCTV Partnership and the CCTV company, with a view to ascertaining whether to expand the service or concentrate on the core functions.

It was RESOLVED:

1.         That the Internal Audit Progress report be noted.

2.         That the status of Critical and High Priority Recommendations be noted.
