Council meeting agenda - 4 June 2012 - Clarence City Council

AUDIT COMMITTEE – 16 May 2012 5
Brief outlines for these projects were provided. The outlines provided should be regarded as an
indicative description only, as full scoping of the projects would still need to be undertaken. The
level of importance and value of the identified projects does, however, vary.
Additionally, to assist the Committee’s consideration of projects, a schedule of audit projects
previously undertaken by the Committee was attached.
As has been the focus in previous audits, it is considered important that any of the audit projects
undertaken are not simply compliance and/or fault finding in nature, but rather, focused at
providing the Committee and the organisation with valuable input and advice on enhancements
and improvements.
RECOMMENDATION:
A. That the Committee considers and determines on the suitable projects that it wishes to
recommend for inclusion in the 2011/2012 Annual Audit Plan.
B. That following Council’s adoption of the Plan, service providers/auditors be requested to
prepare scoping documentation in respect to the new auditable matters together with
details of the resourcing and expertise that the service providers/auditors propose to
utilise on the projects, for consideration by the Committee.
