Independent assurance that is proportionate, practical and built for local councils.
Internal audit should give members useful assurance about whether the council’s systems and controls are operating effectively—not simply produce a year-end signature.
We agree the scope, evidence and timetable at the outset, and send one request list for everything we need. Testing is risk-based and scaled to your council’s size and complexity, and you receive your report within 10 working days of complete evidence.
Our auditors are independent of your council’s finances and day-to-day management, as the Practitioners’ Guide requires. Local Council Audit’s work for you is internal audit.
