The audit included visits to the charities that formed part of the sample to test the information they provided to the Department and to garner their views on how the Department engaged with them. ASH was included in the work because its grant fulfilled the sample criteria.</p><p> </p><p>The internal audit was not a review of the organisation and the way that it operated, its focus was on the Department’s grant management. It found that, at the time, there were satisfactory arrangements in place in the Department. The audit report did not raise any adverse comments about ASH or include any recommendations in relation to them. It is not normal practice to place copies of Internal Audit reports in the Library.</p><p> </p><p>Minutes of annual review meetings with ASH are available on request from the Department. These documents are held for six years in line with Cabinet Office guidance.</p><p> </p><p>There is no requirement in the grant award for funding to be held in a separate account; however, the grant must be identified in annual accounts.</p> answering member constituency Oxford West and Abingdon answering member printed Nicola Blackwood grouped question UIN 71727 71728 question first answered 27/04/2017 08:49:15 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
