    Response by Head of Service:

     

    SWAP internal audit services provide the internal audit function for the Council under a partnership agreement.  Powys is a partner in the organisation along with other Councils.

     

    The current annual cost of delivery of the service is £269,658.  We have already agreed a reduction of £26,250 for 2021/22 through the delivery of efficiencies, with a further efficiency of £18,750 already agreed for 2022/23.  The service is reviewed regularly with a 12 month notice period for any changes to be agreed.
