Internal Audit Services

Description

The Bidder is required to deliver twelve risk based audits to the corporate centre and directorates. A list of the 12 risk based audits will be provided after the appointment of the successful bidder, however, we reserve the right to make substitutions where required. We expect the average number of days for each audit to be approximately 20. These audits will be carried out during 2025/26, with all final reports cleared by the Corporate Directors and being delivered to the Internal Audit Manager within 12 months after the start date of this contract. We expect that these audits will be spread throughout the year and we will work with the successful bidder to agree a suitable timetable. Lot 1: The audits to be undertaken and their timing will be selected by the Council's Internal Audit Manager with a scope agreed by them and are likely to cover the following areas (please note that this list is indicative of the audits to be undertaken, but the exact audits may change during the year): • Risk based council audits • Financial system audits • IT audits.
