“Our audit of government not only
holds its departments and bodies to account, but also helps and
supports them in pursuing improvement. That has long been our core
conviction and it rests on solid evidence.
What’s changed now is the strength of
our ambition to apply the unique perspective of public audit to
help Parliament and government to drive lasting improvement in
public services.”
