Description of the goods or services requiredThe Scottish Funding Council (SFC) requires internal audit services for the three year period from 1 April 2012. The Management Statement and Financial Memorandum between the Scottish Government and SFC requires the Council to establish and maintain arrangements for internal audit in accordance with the Treasury’s Government Internal Audit Standards (GIAS). The GIAS manual defines internal auditing as “an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organisation’s operations. It helps an organisation accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.” The scope of internal audit extends to all of SFC’s activities, financial and otherwise. Internal audit should fulfil its terms of reference by systematic review of risk management, control and governance policies and procedures. Further details are included in the Invitation to Tender.
