Indicator number

Indicator title

Percentage internal audit recommendations incorporated into agreed action plans

Short definition

This indicator refers to the number of internal audit recommendations in reports, incorporated into agreed management action plans as a percentage of the total number of internal audit recommendations made. This indicator is dependent on indicator 5.3.1 (i.e. the number of internal audit reports issued and recommendations incorporated into agreed action plans are determined by the approved internal audit coverage plans) The indicator reflects the degree to which recommendations that internal audit is making are incorporated into action plans that may improve the system of internal controls. It serves as an indicator of the quality of recommendations made by internal audit, the extent to which clients are acknowledging the work of internal audit and commitment to good governance. It contributes to improved governance through improved business processes. This indicator is achieved through collaboration with the relevant Accounting Officers, their executive and line management teams and various business units within the Branch Corporate Assurance and the DotP
