Audit backlog

Only 1 per cent of local bodies published audited accounts on time last year. Cllr Pete Marland, Chair of the LGA’s Economy and Resources Board, said: “We are pleased the Government has committed to overhauling local audit. There is an urgent need to restore confidence in the arrangements, and improve financial reporting. This needs to be progressed, with strong involvement from the local government sector.”
