Review and Inspection

The Authority accounts and the systems of internal financial control operated by the Authority and the Force are reviewed and inspected annually by External Audit.

In addition, in accordance with Section 151 of the Local Government Act 1972, the Treasurer is responsible for ensuring the proper administration of the Authority's financial affairs. To ensure an independent review of the adequacy, or otherwise, of the system of internal control the Authority maintains an Internal Audit function.

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) regularly undertakes specialist finance and resources inspections of the Authority, and reviews the Authority's arrangements for ensuring Best Value.
