Head of Internal Audit Opinion Report 2019-20 Report of the Internal Auditor. Minutes: The report of the internal auditor was presented to the committee.

The reviews had restarted and would be included in the next Audit progress report for 2020/21. The overall conclusion of the internal auditor was that significant assurance was provided with no high risk recommendations which had been a positive result for the year and overall a good report for the authority.
