In our auditor’s report dated 20 February 2025, we explained that the audit could not be formally concluded until the National Audit Office has communicated the work we are required to undertake as component auditors for the Whole of Government Accounts.
We have received a confirmation from the National Audit Office that it will not require auditors to provide any further assurances or additional procedures as part of the 2023/24 local government audits.
