NHS internal audit standards:
These standards ensure that those responsible for establishing, delivering and reviewing internal audit across the NHS continue to do so within a consistent framework. These recently published standards took effect from 1 April 2011, replacing the existing standards issued in 2002 and they apply to all NHS organisations. The standards are principles-based with additional interpretation to reflect the NHS environment and governance structures. These standards are aimed at providers of internal audit services. There is also an important role for accountable/accounting Officers and audit committees to assure themselves that their internal audit service meets the standards and any necessary improvement plans are agreed and delivered.
