Challenges
Recruiting more JIAC members Improving JIAC Members knowledge and
understanding
Commissioner’s Chief Finance Officer leaving
in July 2014
Impact of funding cuts (more later)
SLIDE 11
Challenges continued
Changing landscape:
- Collaborations, Partnerships, Commissioning
- Fraud seems to be more prevalent
- Transparency agenda v Data Protection
- Increasing political and public scrutiny
- When is a crime not a crime?
SLIDE 12
The impact of funding cuts:
Reducing headcount (but not police officers) Must develop a ‘new’ way of doing things Risk Management must become ‘part of the
way business is done’ – not tacked on at the end
More risks will have to ‘be lived with’ Need for a culture change?
SLIDE 13
The impact of funding cuts: But be alert to the danger of Internal Audit becoming part of the decision making process – this is management's responsibility.
SLIDE 14
Audit Committees will need to:
Improve their knowledge of what
Commissioners and Forces do
Deepen their understanding of the risks and
the potential exposures
Establish how risks are identified, prioritised
and managed – and how frequently risks are reviewed
Identify indirect risks and exposures through
third parties as collaborations and partnerships increase
