Description
The contract will be to provide a programme of audits to provide independent assurance on how Anchor manages risk. This will include how well policies and procedures are implemented and followed to give confidence to the Board, Committees and Executive that our internal controls are effective.
It may also include certain advisory engagements designed to provide recommendations on how Anchor improve risk management on new processes or in response to changes in the operating environment.
It is anticipated that the audit programme will align with Anchor's risk and assurance framework and where ARC requires independent assurance. It will also be influenced by anticipated future changes to the organisation and its environment.
This contract is for a three-year period with the option for an extension for a further two 12 month periods at the end of the term.
Bidders should assume that at least 15 audits per annum will be required. This is based on the current number of reviews in this year's programme which equates to 150 audit days.
