Statement on Internal Control (SIC)
Regulation 4 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2003 (revised
2006) require authorities to conduct a review, at least once a
year, of the effectiveness of its system of internal control and
publish a Statement on Internal Control (SIC) each year with the
authority’s financial statements.
The purpose of the SIC process is to provide a continuous review
of the effectiveness of the Council’s internal control and risk
management systems, so as to give assurance on their effectiveness
and/or to produce a management action plan to address identified
weaknesses in either process. At its most effective, the process of
preparing the SIC adds value to the corporate governance and
internal control framework of the Council.
