ICAEW In Focus: What's the problem with local audit?
Manage episode 359500207 series 2944765
In this Insights In Focus episode, we discuss the effectiveness of local authority audit and assurance.
Many local authorities are facing a difficult financial situation, with pressure to deliver services at a time of stretched resources. There are also questions regarding the timely delivery and usefulness of their audited accounts – and whether councillors require financial training to support decision making.
Host Philippa Lamb discusses the issues with Meg Hillier MP, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee; James Jamieson, Chair of the Local Government Association; and Alison Ring, Director of Public Sector and Taxation at ICAEW.
