Audit: Frequently Asked Questions

All council services and activities can be subject to an Audit. The Strategic Audit Plan will include all Town Hall services to the public, the operation of Leisure Centres, Schools, Care Homes and Day Centres. We also carry out planned reviews of operations within each Directorate such as Highways Maintenance, Council Tax and Car Parking as well as Core Financial areas such as Budgetary Control and Payroll.
