The Chief Financial Officers of Devon County, Plymouth City and Torbay Councils had, for some time, recognised that each Council was facing similar problems in respect of Internal Audit with regard to the resources available to develop and enhance the respective service. To this end it was felt that this problem could be resolved by creating a shared Internal Audit function by joining the three Councils separate services.
The Devon Audit Partnership is a new entity to deliver Internal Audit services to all three authorities replacing the current three separate sections. The Partnership has a management board made up of representatives from the three Councils and a single Head of the Partnership (Martin Gould) who fulfils the role of Chief Internal Auditor for each of the three Councils. The Partnership became effective from 1 April 2009 as a Joint Committee
