Science, technology and innovation

Our audit of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and its sponsored bodies, enables us to challenge and review developments in the use of money for innovation, science and technology. We audit the Department's financial statements and conduct VfM audits of specific programmes and projects.

Our work in this sector goes beyond the bounds of the Department itself - not least with our continuing coverage of major IT initiatives and projects, such as our report on The National Programme for IT in the NHS.

April 2009

A conference on Changing Culture, Strengthening Delivery explored the issues of innovation across government in greater depth with individuals involved in innovation in central government, local government and third sector organisations. We produced five short films highlighting some of the examples of good practice from the two reports.
