On 18 December MHCLG launched a consultation on Local audit reform: a strategy for overhauling the local audit system in England. We welcomed the strategy to develop a more cohesive system geared to the sector’s needs that provides assurance over the use of public money. The strategy commits to a series of measures to fix the broken local audit system and sought views on a range of potential further measures.
Our response to MHCLG’s consultation is available to read on our website.
