The Internal Audit Plan was a risk based plan with fire specific systems for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as well as shared services with HCC and Hampshire Police. Some areas fell outside of scope of external audit and so were covered internally. Updates and progress reports on the plan would continue to go to Standards & Governance Committee going forward.
Total days invested by Internal Audit for 2021/22 currently stood above average at 200 days, based on the risks identified and the impact of the transition to the new Combined Fire Authority and also considered elements not reviewed before. The impact on the average days would continue to be monitored over a three-year rolling basis.
