Implications
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are financial implications associated with this paper. To achieve the sources of assurance outlined in the report requires resources both internal and external. Each has a financial implication e.g. internal staff pay or payment to providers such as internal and external audit. The costs for 2022/23 are within approved budgets, however, the Authority must also ensure Best Value in the use of resources.
REPUTATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
There may be reputational implications associated with this paper, if the Authority is not able to demonstrate good stewardship of public money and appropriate oversight / assurance on the systems of internal controls.
