Purpose of the consultation
The
Public Audit (Wales) Act 2013
was introduced in July 2012 and became law in Wales on 29 April 2013. The Act aimed
to strengthen and improve the accountability and governance arrangements
relating to the Auditor General for Wales and the Wales Audit Office whilst
protecting the Auditor General for Wales independence and objectivity.
The
Finance Committee of the National
Assembly for Wales conducted post-legislative scrutiny of the Act, which
focussed on two areas:
1. To explore issues
raised by the Auditor General for Wales and Wales Audit Office in regard of
the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2013; including:
- Fee charging
- Quorum arrangements
of the Wales Audit Office board
- Wales Audit Office
reporting arrangements
- Issues with laying
and reporting accounts
2. To consider to what extent other aspects
of the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2013 may benefit from revision.
