Head Of Internal Audit Annual Opinion 2020/21

About this event

Covid has placed unprecedented stresses on public bodies and internal audit teams will have been impacted during the year, including the completion of audits. The head of internal audit retains the professional responsibility to issue an annual opinion under the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards and may need to consider a limitation of scope. New CIPFA guidance to local government addresses this challenge.

Who should attend?

The webinar should be attended by heads of internal audit in local government.  It will also be of interest to those placing reliance on the opinion, including the leadership teams of local government bodies and audit committee members.

The CIPFA guidance is only applicable to local government but it may be of interest to heads of internal audit in other parts of the public sector.

How will I benefit?

The webinar will provide the opportunity to hear more about the new guidance and ask questions.

CPD hours
