Development areas for 2024/25
The Committee’s annual effectiveness survey 2023 highlighted the value in carrying out a skills assessment of the Committee members to identify any training needs in addition to the basic governance e-learning modules which are accessible to Committee members. This request will be considered and will be developed over the next 12 months in conjunction with the Chair and Committee members if appropriate.
The Audit Committee will continue to comment on the scope of the internal audit (quantum and depth of review). In 2023/24 the internal auditor carried out specific work on data security following a request from the Committee. The option to increase internal audit days continues to be available or to commission appropriate reviews into areas where it is felt that assurance is required.
