Following failures to the Service's Information and Communication Technology infrastructure in June 2011, an internal investigation was requested by the Chief Fire Officer, to be undertaken by Audit Services at Shropshire Council.
The investigation is underway, but the proposed duration is as yet unknown. However, it was agreed that, in order to accommodate in part the costs of the investigation, some changes would be made to the Internal Audit Plan for 2011/12, which was approved by this Committee in March 2011.
Following discussion with the Treasurer and the Chief Fire Officer, it has been agreed with Audit Services that 5 days of the Plan will be used , 2 of which were scheduled for Fraud and Corruption, and 3 for Risk Management - this audit, originally scheduled for 6 days, will now be a lighter audit of 3 days.
