MINISTRY OF HOUSING COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking to appoint five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board. Local public bodies are at the heart of our communities. They support democracy and help deliver vital public services. The local audit system covers a wide range of public sector bodies (including local authorities, police, fire and National Health Service bodies). An effective and efficient external audit system is vital to ensure transparency and accountability for billions of pounds of public funds. This government is driving a major overhaul of the local audit system by leading one of the most ambitious and wide-reaching reform programmes in over a decade. These efforts mark a decisive shift toward modernising a broken system that has struggled with complexity, fragmentation and capacity challenges. The scale of the problem has been epitomised by the backlog of outstanding unaudited accounts, which led to a paralysis of local audit prior to this government's decision action to tackle it. The problems in local government financial reporting and the backlog in unaudited accounts has regrettably led to the disclaimer on the Whole of Government Accounts for both 2022/23 and 2023/24, and a general loss of public accountability and trust in the system. As part of our overhaul of the local audit system, we are launching the new Local Audit Office. The Local Audit Office will: Play a critical role in ensuring the effective delivery of reforms, strengthening accountability, securing better value for money for taxpayers, and supporting long-term economic growth. Reduce the complexity of the current arrangements, improve coordination across the system and improve capacity and capability. Oversee and coordinate the auditing of local public bodies to promote effective, value for money and timely local audit, and to put the system back onto a secure and reliable footing. Rebuild transparency, accountability and public trust, restoring a crucial part of the early warning system for authorities facing potential failure and challenge. The Local Audit Office's development will be an iterative process, and its functions will develop over time to fulfil its long-term vision. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board to play a crucial role in the establishment and running of this new organisation. These high-profile roles will provide independent oversight and strategic guidance to ensure the Office operates with the highest standards of governance and accountability.

This is an exciting opportunity to make significant impacts and help establish the new Local Audit Office as a crucial part of the wider reforms to local audit sector.

MINISTRY OF HOUSING COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking to appoint five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board. Local public bodies are at the heart of our communities. They support democracy and help deliver vital public services. The local audit system covers a wide range of public sector bodies (including local authorities, police, fire and National Health Service bodies). An effective and efficient external audit system is vital to ensure transparency and accountability for billions of pounds of public funds. This government is driving a major overhaul of the local audit system by leading one of the most ambitious and wide-reaching reform programmes in over a decade. These efforts mark a decisive shift toward modernising a broken system that has struggled with complexity, fragmentation and capacity challenges. The scale of the problem has been epitomised by the backlog of outstanding unaudited accounts, which led to a paralysis of local audit prior to this government's decision action to tackle it. The problems in local government financial reporting and the backlog in unaudited accounts has regrettably led to the disclaimer on the Whole of Government Accounts for both 2022/23 and 2023/24, and a general loss of public accountability and trust in the system. As part of our overhaul of the local audit system, we are launching the new Local Audit Office. The Local Audit Office will: Play a critical role in ensuring the effective delivery of reforms, strengthening accountability, securing better value for money for taxpayers, and supporting long-term economic growth. Reduce the complexity of the current arrangements, improve coordination across the system and improve capacity and capability. Oversee and coordinate the auditing of local public bodies to promote effective, value for money and timely local audit, and to put the system back onto a secure and reliable footing. Rebuild transparency, accountability and public trust, restoring a crucial part of the early warning system for authorities facing potential failure and challenge. The Local Audit Office's development will be an iterative process, and its functions will develop over time to fulfil its long-term vision. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board to play a crucial role in the establishment and running of this new organisation. These high-profile roles will provide independent oversight and strategic guidance to ensure the Office operates with the highest standards of governance and accountability. The roles will also provide advice, challenge and support to the Chair, Controller of Local Audit and executive management regarding the Office's operations, development and implementation of its strategic direction, core functions and delivery priorities, ensuring that the organisation delivers value for money. This is an exciting opportunity to make significant impacts and help establish the new Local Audit Office as a crucial part of the wider reforms to local audit sector. You will be at the heart of a bold and ambitious mission to transform the local audit system. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact for communities and taxpayers across the country.

An effective and efficient external audit system is vital to ensure transparency and accountability for billions of pounds of public funds. This government is driving a major overhaul of the local audit system by leading one of the most ambitious and wide-reaching reform programmes in over a decade. These efforts mark a decisive shift toward modernising a broken system that has struggled with complexity, fragmentation and capacity challenges. The scale of the problem has been epitomised by the backlog of outstanding unaudited accounts, which led to a paralysis of local audit prior to this government's decision action to tackle it. The problems in local government financial reporting and the backlog in unaudited accounts has regrettably led to the disclaimer on the Whole of Government Accounts for both 2022/23 and 2023/24, and a general loss of public accountability and trust in the system. As part of our overhaul of the local audit system, we are launching the new Local Audit Office. The Local Audit Office will: Play a critical role in ensuring the effective delivery of reforms, strengthening accountability, securing better value for money for taxpayers, and supporting long-term economic growth. Reduce the complexity of the current arrangements, improve coordination across the system and improve capacity and capability. Oversee and coordinate the auditing of local public bodies to promote effective, value for money and timely local audit, and to put the system back onto a secure and reliable footing. Rebuild transparency, accountability and public trust, restoring a crucial part of the early warning system for authorities facing potential failure and challenge. The Local Audit Office's development will be an iterative process, and its functions will develop over time to fulfil its long-term vision. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board to play a crucial role in the establishment and running of this new organisation. These high-profile roles will provide independent oversight and strategic guidance to ensure the Office operates with the highest standards of governance and accountability. The roles will also provide advice, challenge and support to the Chair, Controller of Local Audit and executive management regarding the Office's operations, development and implementation of its strategic direction, core functions and delivery priorities, ensuring that the organisation delivers value for money. This is an exciting opportunity to make significant impacts and help establish the new Local Audit Office as a crucial part of the wider reforms to local audit sector. You will be at the heart of a bold and ambitious mission to transform the local audit system. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact for communities and taxpayers across the country.
