Spoken
to our Audit Manager and she informs me that under the “requirements that the
organisation must undergo an external audit anyway” that all the arrangements
that this entails (i.e. confidentiality, if there is a need to move off-site
data sets containing personal info etc etc) are already included at this high
level “audit agreement”. So, a separate agreement just covering the Info Governance
stipulations are not needed here in TWC.
Hope
this helps.
Many
thanks

Subject: External Auditors and Data Protection!!!
Dear all,
How do local authorities deal with the issue of Data
protection and external auditors (currently the Audit Commission)?
Auditors obviously look at a lot of data, some of
it sensitive personal data (this time they are checking out leisure
memberships and the audit trail regarding this). Are we right to rely on the
fact that they can quote a relevant 'statutory act' and we have to allow
access?
How do you deal with the fact they might want to take
'personal data' out of the office.
Whilst this is something we maybe should already have a
process for, does anyone have a guidance, advice regarding this?
I have rung the ICO helpline and unfortunately this time
(perhaps understandably) the advice was relatively generic such as asking what
information do you want, why do you want it and what powers can you have it
under?
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Regards
Steve
