Audit Scotland issued an Accounts Commission report in November 2008 entitled “Priorities and Risks Framework”.  The Priorities and Risks Framework is a tool for external auditors to use when planning the audits of local government bodies in Scotland and is a document which summarises the key national priorities and risks which face Councils in the coming year. The key messages from this national report were before the Committee for consideration.

 

Decision

 

1.      To note the contents of the report and that these will be followed up Internal Audit; and

 

2.      To note that Audit Scotland have instructed External Auditors to make sure that Councils act on these national reports.
