Our work

Our audits of the accounts of all central government departments and other bodies, our value for money reports and our support to Parliamentary Select Committees all help save the country millions of pounds a year (at least £10 for every £1 spent running the Office), and serve to bring about improvements in the delivery of public services.

Find out more about some of our recent publications:

  • Reported fraud in Employment Programmes is low despite past flaws such as in the New Deal. New improvement controls are better, yet risks remain.
  • The £1.4 billion funding could result in 41,000 extra full-time equivalent private sector jobs but thousands more could have been created from the same resources.
  • The BBC has reduced its spending on support functions but in future it should plan for cuts by clearly defining the level of service it requires and what that should cost.
  • Significant changes have been made to the assurance system for major projects but Government needs to do more as the system is not yet 'built to last'.
  • The Home Office has improved the financial management of its core business but strengths at the centre are not being demonstrated in its 'change programmes'.
  • Better access to public information can improve accountability and service delivery. Government needs a firm grasp of whether that potential is being realised.
