An important and very timely review @NAOorguk for future of #PublicSector #Audit

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

We've launched a consultation on changes to the Code of Audit Practice, to support more timely & effective auditing of local public bodies.

The Code sets out what auditors of these bodies need to do to meet their statutory responsibilities.

More here: https://t.co/SIu7kSrmFx

Another report from @NAOorguk UK National Audit Office which highlights the relevance of #PublicSector #Audit to effective public management - both financial and performance aspects and therefore trust in government at all levels

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

Recent high-profile cases show it is vital to have effective whistleblowing arrangements in place.

@GarethDaviesNAO, head of the NAO, comments on the findings of our report into whistleblowing in the civil service.

Read the report:

The range of the 2024 @EUauditors work plan - including both financial and performance aspects - underlines the relevance of #Audit to effective public management and therefore trust in government

[European Court of Auditors @EUauditors]

We today published our work programme, listing the institution’s audit priorities for the next two years.

It contains a list of 73 audit tasks and reviews assessing #EUaction in strategic priority areas ↓

🔹Climate change
🔹Competitiveness
🔹External action
🔹Public finances

[Mike Burnett @EIPAPubMan]

A very important report @EUauditors showing the relevance of audit to better #PublicSector management and thus to trust by citizens across the #EU in government at all levels across Europe

[European Court of Auditors @EUauditors]

Competition for public contracts awarded by national, regional and local authorities across 🇪🇺 faded away in the last decade:

🔹Fewer and fewer businesses competed
🔹2014 reform failed to make procedures attractive
🔹focus is more on following rules than on value for money

[Mike Burnett @EIPAPubMan]

A very lively discussion of key issues for public contracts, utilities contracts and contracts by EU bodies
Good to hear participants commenting on the experiences of each other - looking forward to next Master Class in late June 2024 #competitivedialogue #competitiveprocedure

[Mike Burnett @EIPAPubMan]

Important for Procurement Review Unit to launch infringements of Public Procurement Act @GOVUK if needed as @EUCommission #EU
