We are a not-for-profit company with 27 employees and a Board of six directors. In July 2016, the Government specified PSAA as an appointing person under the provisions of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and the Local Audit (Appointing Person) Regulations 2015. As an appointing person PSAA is responsible for appointing auditors, setting scales of fees for eligible bodies that have chosen to opt into its national scheme, overseeing issues of auditor independence and monitoring contract compliance of the audit firms with whom we contract. For the period from 2023/24 to 2027/28, over 99% of local government bodies, such as local councils, police and fire bodies and national parks, opted to join our scheme rather than appoint their own auditor. In late 2022 we completed our very significant procurement of external audit services for the delivery of an annual audit for the next five years to over 450 local government bodies, our clients. The company is staffed by a team with significant experience of working within the context of the regulations to appoint auditors, managing contracts with audit firms, and setting and determining audit fees, and a small team providing business and project support services. In December 2024 the Government announced plans to create the Local Audit Office (LAO) and to transfer all PSAA's functions into this new organisation. The date of transfer is likely to be between Autumn 2026 and April 2028. The government has begun early discussions with us about PSAA staff transferring into the LAO.
