Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee - 30 May 2023
Date : 22 June 2023
Location : online
Background
The Scottish Public Finance Manual (SPFM) requires internal audit to provide an annual report to the Accountable Officer and Audit Committee that provides an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the governance, risk management and internal control system of the organisation.
The internal audit plan for 2022/23 was approved by the Board in February 2022 with progress and all work reported to the ARAC.
The annual report forms part of the assurance required by the Accountable Officer to enable them to sign the Governance Statement to be provided alongside the accounts for which they are directly responsible.
