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.

Below are the notes to support the Statement on Internal Control;
