Internal Audit Services

The four Commissioners in Wales (Dyfed Powys, South Wales, Gwent and North Wakes) require an internal audit Service that is proactive and adds value to management within the organisation through a structured and risk-based audit needs assessment in order to form the basis of the Audit Plan each year. In short, the four Commissioners require an internal audit Service that, whilst providing the statutory assurances regarding standards of internal control, will also make a significant contribution to the improvement of management processes. The Contractor will be required to provide an internal audit Service that independently examines, evaluates, and reports on the adequacy of internal controls throughout the Force as a contribution to the proper economic, efficient, and effective use of resources. The scope of the Services shall encompass the examination and evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Commissioner’s system of internal control and the quality of performance, as agreed within the Audit Programme. This is a Framework Agreement for the Services which shall be awarded by the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales and open to the Police and Crime Commissioners for Gwent, Dyfed Powys and North Wales. The four Commissioners require one Contractor to provide the Service.
