Internal Audit

The purpose of internal auditing is to ensure that all our internal procedures are efficient and effective. We have commissioned this work from PricewaterhouseCoopers - a major firm of accountants and auditors. This ensures that internal audits of Council performance are independent and objective.

PwC in the UK is a leading provider of professional services, which include audit, tax, financial and risk advisory. 

PwC's audit philosophy is geared towards achieving maximum value from audit resources. Their risk focused internal audit approach provides management with assurance on risk management and internal controls over key aspects of service delivery and suggests how these risks can be managed.

The auditors communicate with officers and the Audit and Governance Committee on a regular basis.

Their breadth of knowledge allows them to provide examples of best practice and recommendations for how systems can be improved and value for money secured.
