The purpose of the HSE's internal audit function is to provide assurance that controls and procedures are operated in accordance with best practice and the appropriate regulations. This is part of the normal governance arrangements required in any corporate body, public or private.

I understand that internal audit reports in relation to the 2010 Voluntary Redundancy Scheme have been provided to HSE management and will be considered and acted upon by the Executive as appropriate.
