Auditor General for Wales Estimate 2014-15
Auditor General for Wales Estimate 2014-15
The
Public Audit (Wales) Act 2013 received Royal Assent on 29 April 2013. The Act
continued the office of the Auditor General for Wales and created a new body
known as the Wales Audit Office. It also sets out accountability and governance
arrangements relating to the Auditor General for Wales and the Wales Audit
Office.
On
16 July 2013, the Business Committee agreed proposals to amend Standing Orders
to delegate some of the functions in the Act to a responsible committee. The
proposals also amended the functions of the Public Accounts Committee so as to
remove those which relate to the oversight of the Wales Audit Office and
Auditor General and delegate them instead to the ‘responsible committee’.
Business Committee agreed on 1 October 2013 to delegate these functions to the Finance Committee. The functions
delegated to the Finance Committee include scrutinising the Wales Audit Office
annual estimate of income and expenditure. This has ensured separation from the
Public Accounts Committee’s oversight role of the Auditor General for Wales.
