Management Information Sheet
Norfolk Audit Services - Themed Audits
Norfolk Audit Services (NAS), as the County Council's internal auditors, carry out an annual programme of themed audits, visiting a representative sample of schools and sharing common findings and examples of good practice with all schools.
The Local Authority strongly recommends that the outcomes of these audits are considered by School governors and leadership teams and any necessary actions taken in order to address any improvements required for each School. Any issues and proposed actions should be discussed by the relevant Committee of the Governing Body for approval, monitoring and evaluation. Question 20 of the SFVS also makes reference to schools taking into account recommendations made from these types of audits.
A reminder that, as part of their Autumn term visits to all schools and the link to the RAG matrix, Educator Solutions' Finance Support Officers will ask for evidence, in the form of Governors' minutes highlighting where discussions have taken place regarding the findings and recommendations from these audits.
