Audit Reports

Each year an Independent report to the Directors of Kettering General Hospital is produced.  Details of this summary can be found in the Annual Report

A number of external audit reports submitted over the past 12 months may be found through links below.

The Internal and External Auditors prepare reports for the Audit Committee on a regular basis. The Internal Auditors work to a programme of audits agreed with the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee minutes are provided to the Trust Board.

Statement of Internal Control

Each year the Director of Finance provides a Statement of Internal Control to the Audit Committee, a sub committee of the Trust Board.

The system of internal control is designed to manage risk to a reasonable level rather than to eliminate all risk of failure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it can therefore only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance of effectiveness. The system of internal control is based on an ongoing process designed to identify and prioritise the risks to the achievement of the policies, aims and objectives of Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, to evaluate the likelihood of those risks being realised and the impact should they be realised, and to manage them efficiently, effectively and economically.
