Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Rising (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 February 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000 (Audit of Non-profit-making Companies) Order 2009.
Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000 (Audit of Non-profit-making Companies) Order 2009
I thank the Minister for introducing this order, which I was going to say is relatively uncontroversial. The wind has disappeared a little from my sails, not least because the extension of the Comptroller and Auditor-General’s public audit responsibility was welcomed by the bodies involved. I have one point: can the Minister confirm whether the change is voluntary? The order states that the ““Auditor-General shall audit””, but there are a series of conditions that would make it quite easy to avoid that, if anyone wanted to.
