Welcome to the Internal Audit Forum
Welcome to Internal Audit Forum
We are a group of sector specialists who have established a network of Internal Auditors across the country and invited other stakeholders who strive to promote continuous internal audit improvement in the Parish and Town Council Sector.
We have agreed objectives to promote good governance and transparency across the Local Council Sector and to become ‘The Voice for Local Council Audit’.
We are actively engaging with JPAG, SAAA, SLCC, NALC and the CALCs
