Please note: this consultation closed on 1 October 2012.
This consultation was on a draft of the Local Government Application Note to the UK Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS).
Please note that a separate consultation took place on PSIAS. View the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards consultation.
The Local Government Application Note developed by CIPFA primarily to provide guidance to local government organisations that previously fell within the remit of the CIPFA Code of Practice for Internal Audit in Local Government in the UK. However, it has been written so that much of the guidance contained within should be useful and of interest to internal auditors in other parts of the public sector.
It provides further explanation to the PSIAS and practical guidance on how to apply the Standards and as part of the consultation process, CIPFA would welcome feedback on whether the guidance included is helpful, accurate and appropriate. We would also appreciate suggestions on whether there are any areas of the PSIAS where more guidance would be valued.
