Briggs  \nApologies: Councillor H. R. D. Williams  \nIn Attendance: Councillor C. Bateson  \n24/24 Apologies and Substitutes  \nApologies were received by Councillor Williams.  \n25/24 Minutes  \nThe minutes of the meeting held on 19 March 2024 were approved as a correct record.  \n26/24 Disclosures of Interest  \nThere were none.  \n27/24 Internal Audit Plan 2024/25  \nNeil Pitman, Head of the Southern Internal Audit Partnership presented the Committee with a report on the Internal Audit Plan 2024/25 . The internal audit plan provided the mechanism through which the Chief Internal Auditor can ensure most appropriate use of internal audit resource to provide a clear statement of assurance on risk management, internal control, and governance arrangements.  \nThe Committee queried whether the plan as presented was in line with previous plans and whether there will be a similar level of continuation within the Internal Audit delivery considering the changeover on 1st April 2024 from our in house internal audit provision to the Southern Internal Audit Partnership now providing Internal Audit services. It was clarified that the Southern Internal Audit Partnership were guided by comparable procedures and standards which will ensure a seamless transition and continuity in our internal audit delivery.  \nThe Committee discussed the benefit of having sight of full reports on internal audit reviews. The Committee resolved to agree to have sight of full reportson key internal audit reviews related to governance, including the Corporate Plan and Best Value – post inspection.  \nThe Committee resolved to approve the Internal Audit Plan 2024-25.  \n28/24 Internal Audit Charter 2024-25  \nThe Committee considered the Internal Audit Charter 2024-25 presented by Neil Pitman, Head of Southern Internal Audit Partnership. In accordance with the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) all internal audit activities were expected to maintain an ‘internal audit charter.’ This defined the purpose, authority, and responsibility for the internal audit service consistent with the Definition of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics, and the Standards. Neil Pitman highlighted that as part of the charter, members could refer to a list of definitions referenced throughout the report for clarity. A list of Audit reports which members could expect to be received over the year were also referenced within the charter for a full understanding.  \nThe Committee resolved to approve the Internal Audit Charter 2024-25.  \n29/24 Corporate Risk Management  \nThe Committee received a report from Lee O’Neil, Deputy Chief Executive on the Corporate Risk Register (Corporate Risk Management) which set out the significant strategic risks to the Council in delivering its priorities. The Deputy Chief Executive reported that there had been some delay in generating the new register due to technical constraints, however this had since been resolved. It was clarified that the overriding ownership of the risk register now sat with Corporate Management Team and Corporate Policy and Resources Committee members. The main changes to the register included a review and update of risk categories, and risk scores for certain categories had also been adjusted to reflect current threat and impact. The change in risk rating from amber to red for climate change was highlighted as this category brought specific risk to Spelthorne, as demonstrated by recent flooding events within the borough during January 2024.  \nThe Committee queried whether the risk register was designed to ensure that risk assessments were completed meaningfully by managers. The Deputy Chief Executive confirmed that the current format was adopted by the previous Audit Manager, and worked well.
