LGA takes on interim audit role
0The government has chosen the Local Government Association to take on responsibility for management of the Audit Commission’s contracts until 2017.
The LGA will set up a new company to manage the contracts between the commission’s abolition in March 2015 until the legal introduction of the local adoption of audit in 2017. The new body will take on the Audit Commission’s statutory functions, managing the audit contracts of councils and other public services, with all Audit Commission staff transferring across. LGA chairman Sir Merrick Cockell said: “Placing the LGA at the heart of this process will help ensure that high quality audit continues to be delivered with stable fees.”
