An in-house auditor and an external contractor carry out internal audit work. We record work undertaken during the year in the Internal Audit Annual Plan. The Accounts and Governance Committee, following consultation with our Corporate Management Team and the External Auditor, approve this.
Following the completion of audit work each year, an Internal Audit Annual Report is prepared. The Accounts and Governance Committee approve this. We submit reports to the Committee throughout the year on completed audits and the implementation of recommendations.
