8 INTERNAL 6 AUDIT FOLLOW UP REPORT APPENDIX: RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL AUDIT Internal controls It is the responsibility of Comhairle management to maintain adequate and effective financial systems and to arrange for a system of internal controls. Our responsibility as internal auditors is to evaluate significant financial systems and associated internal controls and to report to the Audit Committee on the appropriateness of such systems and controls. In practice, we cannot examine every financial activity and accounting procedure and we cannot substitute for management s responsibility to maintain adequate systems of internal controls over financial systems. We therefore may not identify all the weaknesses that exist in that regard. Fraud and corruption The prime responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and irregularities rests with Comhairle management. They also have a duty to take reasonable steps to limit the opportunity for corrupt practices. It is our responsibility to review the adequacy of these arrangements, but our work does not remove the possibility that fraud, corruption or irregularity may have occurred and remained undetected. We nevertheless endeavour to plan our audit so that we have a reasonable expectation of detecting material fraud, but our examination should not be relied upon to disclose all such material frauds as may exist. 6
