B. REPORT DETAILS
5. INTRODUCTION
5.1 This report summarises the progress relating to delivery of the
Internal Audit Plan for 2001/2002.
6. NOTES TO THE REPORT
6.1 The report shows that 64% of the Salford plan has been delivered to
date.
6.2 Some amendments have been made to the planned days for
individual Directorates in line with the flexible plan now operated.
6.3 Planned days have also been adjusted in some instances between
audit teams to utilise specialist skills where required.
6.4 Planned days for the year have already been achieved or are on
target in a number of Directorates. Directorates where the plan is
behind target have projects planned for the remainder of the year.
6.5 The most notable shortfall is currently in Development Services, as a
result of the majority of the work for this Directorate being
programmed for the final quarter of the year.
