At its meeting on Thursday, 25 March 2010, the Corporate Governance Committee will hear about how progress has been made by the Force to address identified weaknesses within data handling.
The review of data handling was originally undertaken by Internal Audit in August 2009 and reported to the Committee at its previous meeting in November.
The review had concluded that only limited assurance could be placed on the effectiveness of the control environment. A number of good security controls and policies were in place although opportunities to improve controls in a number of areas identified. The Committee will hear that it is anticipated that all outstanding recommendations should be fully completed by July 2010 with the exception of one to be completed by December 2010.
