Schools Governance and Audit
The advice and guidance the Council provides to support Schools delivering the highest standards of governance and control can be found here. This also provides guidance to schools on what to expect if they are selected for an Internal Audit as part of the Council’s wider Audit Plan work providing assurance to the Council’s 151 Officers regarding those funds administered by Schools.
We provide below some useful documents to explain what is covered by a schools audit and some further contacts if you have any queries:
