Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Internal Auditor detailing the Internal Audit and Counter Fraud Charter and Code of Ethics for 2017/18 which was a requirement of the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards.  The Committee noted with effect from 1st April 2017 the internal audit and counter fraud function was being delivered as a shared service with Portsmouth City Council under the direction and control of the shared Chief Internal Auditor (the Chief Internal Auditor for Portsmouth City Council) and as such the introduction of an Investigation Steering Group was being recommended which consisted of the Monitoring Officer, s151 Officer, Service Director; Human Resources and Organisational Development and the Chief Internal Auditor or deputy which would be a new process for Southampton City Council.

 

RESOLVED: that the Internal Audit and Counter Fraud Charter and Code of Ethics for 2017/18 as detailed in the appendix to the report be approved.
