Audit Commission Revenue and Competitors

The Audit Commission’s role is to protect the public purse.\r\n \r\nWe do this by appointing auditors to a range of local public bodies in England. We set the standards we expect auditors to meet and oversee their work. Our aim is to secure high-quality audits at the best price possible.\r\n\r\nWe use information from auditors and published data to provide authoritative, evidence-based analysis. This helps local public services to learn from one another and manage the financial challenges they face.\r\n\r\nWe also compare data across the public sector to identify where services could be open to abuse and help organisations fight fraud.
