Anticipated input:
In Angus we anticipate a requirement of 25 - 30 days each year for IT audit, with additional days potentially required on an ad-hoc basis for general internal audit support in exceptional circumstances.
In Dundee we anticipate a requirement of 25 - 35 days each year for IT Audit. General audit reviews are also required once each during the contract term for Risk Management and Insurance, with additional general audit days potentially required on an ad-hoc basis in exceptional circumstances.
