### Lot Information

Lot 1

1. The role of internal audit is to provide the Management Committee (through the Audit Sub-Committee) with an objective assessment of whether systems and controls (financial and non-financial) are working properly. It is a key part of an CHA's internal control system because it measures and evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of other controls in order that: a) the Management Committee and Senior Management Team (SMT) can know the extent to which they may rely on the whole control system; and b) individual managers can know the reliability or otherwise of the systems and controls for which they are responsible. 2. The responsibility for ensuring that appropriate and adequate arrangements are established for internal control rests with CHA's Management Committee (supported by the SMT). The internal auditor will be responsible for conducting an independent appraisal and giving assurance to the Audit Sub-Committee on internal control arrangements. It is for the Management Committee (through the Audit Sub-Committee) to determine whether to accept and implement recommendations made by the internal auditor or, alternatively, for recognising and accepting the risks resulting from not taking an action. 3. The work of the internal audit service shall embrace the whole internal control system of CHA including all its activities, funded from whatever source. The internal audit service will consider the adequacy of systems and controls necessary to secure propriety, economy, efficiency and effectiveness in all areas. It will seek to confirm that management have taken the necessary steps to achieve these objectives. 4. The internal auditor will be expected to carry out a rolling programme of internal audit work so that all main aspects of our operations are assessed at least once during the initial three years. 5. Our current internal audit service consists of 10 days per annum which typically include the following: - One compliance audit; - Two assurance audits; - One risk management audit; - Follow up on implementation of previous audit points; - Audit Needs Assessment and preparation of annual plan, completed for Audit Sub-Committee to approve at the end of February in the preceding year; - Attendance at up to four Audit Sub-Committee meetings a year; - Annual Report; and - Audit Contract Management. It is on the above basis that bidders should tender.

Renewal: The contract shall be for 36 months with options to extend for 2 x additional 12 months (single years) based on performance within the contract.
