To ask Her Majesty’s Government who, under the terms of the Draft Local Audit Bill, would have responsibility for considering and propagating best practice and cost-effectiveness in local government; and who would have responsibility for investigating fraud in the area of local government. [HL2175]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government who, under the terms of the Draft Local Audit Bill, would have responsibility for considering and propagating best practice and cost-effectiveness in local government; and who would have responsibility for investigating fraud in the area of local government. [HL2175]
Responsibility for disseminating best practice and cost effectiveness in local government rests with local government. The Local Government Association through its sector-led improvement programme offers councils peer review services. Peer reviews support the sharing of best practice and cost effectiveness which help members and officers achieve greater efficiencies. The Government support and help to fund the Local Government Association’s approach to its sector-led improvement role.
The draft Bill includes powers which will enable the National Audit Office to undertake a small number of thematic value-for-money studies covering local delivery, providing an end-to-end view on the use of public money and helping to hold central government departments to account for the money they provide to local government. The National Audit Office will be able to draw on its national value-for-money studies experience and work with the local government sector
to design studies which highlight good practice in the economical, efficient and effective use of resources across local authorities.
The Audit Commission has powers to run data-matching exercises for the purpose of assisting in the prevention and detection of fraud, which it currently operates through the National Fraud Initiative. The Government are committed to the retention of the National Fraud Initiative following the closure of the Audit Commission. Provisions for the transfer of the data-matching powers to a new operational owner are included in the draft Bill, and discussions are ongoing as to who would be best placed to take on this role. As now, local authorities will continue to be responsible for investigating fraud in their own organisations, including any potential fraud identified by the National Fraud Initiative.
Full details of the proposals are set out in the Command Paper, available at www.communities.gov.uk/localgovernment/localgovernmentfinance/futurelocal audit/
The proposals will be refined through pre-legislative scrutiny.
