Languages : en
Pages : 54
Book Description
Support is expressed for the draft Bill's main aim which is to create a new Welsh Audit Office under the Auditor General for Wales, covering local government and NHS bodies as well as the National Assembly for Wales and its sponsored bodies. The Committee makes a number of recommendations to improve transparency and accountability including: consideration of a wide statutory duty to be placed on the Auditor General for Wales to ensure sufficient regard to the view of all relevant interests concerning the local government value for money audit; and deletion of the clause which unduly restricts disclosure of information by local government auditors. It also highlights the need for the Auditor General to promote cross-border studies, which should be published as joint reports. Clarification is sought on a range of issues, such as NHS performance audit arrangements.

Draft Local Audit Bill
Author: Great Britain: Department for Communities and Local Government
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780101839327
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
This Draft Local Audit Bill, sets out the government's vision for the future of local audit. It has been designed to implement the government's commitment to disband the Audit Commission and re-focus audit on helping local people hold their councils and other local public bodies to account for local spending decisions. The aim of this new draft bill is to develop a locally focused audit regime, but one still retaining a high quality of audit of local government spending. The government views the current audit arrangements for local public bodies as inefficient and unnecessarily centralised, which has created a system of weak cost incentives and therefore become too focused on reporting to central government and not local people. The new audit framework will also allow bodies to appoint their own auditors from an open and competitive market. The Bill also gives new responsibilities to the Financial Reporting Council, which will act as the overall regulator for auditors; the National Audit Office, which will set the code of audit practice; and the professional audit bodies will also have a role in regulating and monitoring audits.
