The total grant approved for 2000/2001 was £15,441,577 of which £ 8,254,429 was allocated to IAS, £ 7,131,078 to RLC and £56,070 to LCNI. This report sets out our findings and recommendations
The objective of this audit was to provide an assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the controls in place to ensure effective communications between the relevant parts of the Home Office to enable the efficient cessation of support for asylum seekers.
The emphasis of this audit was to ensure compliance to current procedures and to make recommendations that seek to address any weaknesses in the short term, thus avoiding where possible any major changes.
The objective of this audit was to provide an assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the controls established for dealing with asylum seekers to the UK including the assignment of, and payments for, emergency accommodation. The scope of this audit has been designed to dovetail into the scope of our other audit involvement in NASS included in the 2001/02 audit plan.
