Further detail
Appendix A - Q4 Management action follow-up
Appendix A summarises the progress made by Police Scotland, Forensic Services and SPA in implementing previously agreed internal audit actions. Internal audit validate the closure of actions with targeted timeline in Q4 2023/24.
47 out of 63 recommendations are raised by the previous auditors with their rating methodology, which is included in the Internal Audit Progress Report Page 95.
10 of the 11 recommendations marked as superseded relate to the Resource Development Unit project which did not go ahead. There are two recommendations related to the 2021/22 ICT Service Delivery audit which Police Scotland have advised that they do not intend to implement and have requested ARAC approval to remove these from future follow ups.
For the second quarter in a row, we were not provided with timely evidence and updates for the Forensics recommendations and therefore haven’t been able to provide an update; this was due in part to staff sickness.
The one high rated recommendation related to Service Catalogue is superseded. One recommendation focussed focused on updating the service catalogue to cover all services in the portfolio, which is no longer being progressed due to resource constraints.
