    Internal Audit Milton Keynes Council www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/internal-audit MOVING IN MOVING OUT Internal Audit – Final Report MKC INTERNAL AUDIT SERVICE MOVING IN MOVING OUT (EMPTY HOMES) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AUDIT AREA An audit of Moving In Moving Out (Empty Homes) has been carried out in accordance with the annual audit plan. AUDIT OPINION Satisfactory - Controls are considered adequate with some areas of weakness that are not major risk areas. In addition the process may not be demonstrating Best Value for Money. AUDIT REPORT – E137/11 1 MAY 2011 MKC INTERNAL AUDIT SERVICE MOVING IN MOVING OUT (EMPTY HOMES) 1 AUDIT CONCLUSIONS 1.1 The empty homes process is generally operated very well. Staff, particularly management have a high level of focus and there is a passion to remove waste from the system at every opportunity using a continuous improvement approach. On the whole it is considered that the way that different parts of the Council, Mouchel, MITIE and Wheldons work together is to be commended. 1.2 The process as it appears today is far leaner than observed in previous audits reflecting the willingness to continually try different approaches to secure improvement. However there are some further smaller opportunities to squeeze out more waste and a more strategic rather than operational view point may assist with this. 1.3 A frustration which appears to be experienced by all contributors is the disturbance to the smooth flow created by the necessity to undertake asbestos surveys. The Council’s Asbestos Management Plan requires that every empty home must have an asbestos survey completed to comply with legislation.

  • Responsive Repairs
    Internal Audit Milton Keynes Council www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/internal-audit RESPONSIVE REPAIRS Internal Audit – Final Report MARCH 2012 MKC INTERNAL AUDIT SERVICE RESPONSIVE REPAIRS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 AUDIT AREA An audit of Responsive Repairs has been carried out in accordance with the annual audit plan. This audit focussed on the work being carried out by Mitie. 2 AUDIT OPINION Good 3 AUDIT CONCLUSIONS 3.1 There has been significant improvement over the past few years in the way that the repairs service is managed. This conclusion is supported by the positive responses received from customer satisfaction surveys. 3.2 From first hand evidence obtained whilst working on site, having the end to end process on the same site, from receiving the customer’s call to the same operator conducting the satisfaction survey, is proving beneficial to all concerned. 3.3 The average cost of a repair, (calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of works orders issued) has increased by approximately 12% on the previous year. This can be explained by works to a property, carried out by Mitie’s operatives, being grouped together on the same works order therefore raising the cost of the individual works order and resulting in fewer works orders being issued. 3.4 There continue to be concerns accurately recording what constitutes a ‘first time fix’. As this is a key measure it is important that this is clarified. 4 THE FUTURE 4.1 All actions are in the Management Action Plan (Page 5). Detailed findings from the audit are reported within the Main Report in Section 7.
