Consultation has concluded

Thank you for having your say on Council's draft Internal Audit Charter policy document – submissions are now closed.

Community feedback was invited from 18 December 2023 July to 26 January 2024.

Despite 41 page visits during the consultation period, no submissions were provided and therefore no changes were made to the draft Internal Audit Charter as a result of this consultation.

Council's Internal Audit Charter policy was adopted without change at Council's meeting on 21 March 2024.

Council has established an internal audit function which focuses on independently managing risks, reviewing processes, and providing governance assurance. The framework for this function is outlined in the Internal Audit Charter document currently on exhibition.

This Charter will bring the existing function into line with the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 and the Office of Local Government’s Guidelines for risk management and internal audit for local government in NSW and complies with best practice.

What is the purpose of an internal audit function?

The purpose of this function is to make sure Council services are supported to deliver effective transparent programs and operations. This takes place through independently reviewing and giving advice to the elected body, general manager and Audit Risk and Improvement Committee. The role also assists council to improve its business performance.
