This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local authority control of audit and performance provides opportunities to improve value for money and to focus more closely on local priorities. However, there are significant risks to accountability for public money unless new legal and practical arrangements are put in place to uphold the vital principle of auditor independence. Until now the Audit Commission has been the regulator, commissioner and major provider of local government audit services (undertaking 70% of the local government audit and commissioning the remaining 30% under contract from five private audit firms). Under the changes proposed, local government will in future appoint their own auditors. The Government plans to introduce a public audit bill in the autumn. The Committee argues this legislation must set out a number of key principles to govern public audit arrangements in the future: strict adherence to the principle of auditor independence; a majority of independent members on any local audit committee; additional safeguards to ensure the continued effectiveness of public interest reporting; a proportionate and risk based approach to the scope of local government audit - to permit local innovation and application, particularly with regards to local value for money work. The Committee also welcomes the LGA's proposals for sector-led performance management, but calls on the Government to clarify arrangements for intervention in the exceptional cases of serious corporate or service failure. It also repeats its call for the Government to examine the contribution which robust local government scrutiny arrangements could make to improving local government performance.

Download or read book Financial Management in the NHS written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-06-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This joint report was prepared by the National Audit Office and the Audit Commission, and contains the findings from the NAO's audit of the NHS summarized accounts and the Audit Commission's appointed auditors' work on the 2003-04 accounts of individual NHS organizations. The report outlines the financial issues facing individual NHS organizations, with an overview of the effects of these issues at national level and how this will affect the national health economy. In 2003-04 the NHS spent a total of £63 billion, with expenditure costs in the NHS rising by 7.3 per cent each year. This will increase the costs to £76 billion for the 2005-06, and £93 billion for 2007-08 periods. Alongside this increasing expenditure, the Government has set out various reform plans, including the establishment of the NHS Foundation Trusts, new staffing contracts, the development of the information technology infrastructure, and the way hospitals are funded. In the Summary of the financial performance for 2003-04 period, the number of bodies failing to achieve a financial balance had increased, along with an increase in the number of bodies with significant financial deficits. In all, 106 NHS bodies failed to achieve an in-year financial balance, and 14% of the Primary Care Trusts failed to keep expenditure within their resource limit, also a small number of NHS bodies are struggling to manage large deficits. The report advocates four key themes for the improvement of financial management: the role of the Board - who should display better oversight and improve their financial acumen; forecasting - NHS bodies should continually test whether cost savings programmes are realistic, and take account more effectively for risk factors in their financial planning, as well as set realistic budgets at the beginning of the year; earlier preparation of accounts - improvements in financial reporting, and the provision of financial information throughout the year should closely reflect the standard and range of information required in the annual accounts; transparency - that boards, managers, stakeholders would benefit from clarity in the way the accounts are organized, and that the amount of financial support received by the trusts should be clearly stated. With the introduction of Payment by Results and the use of independent healthcare providers the income received by NHS Trusts is no longer certain. So overall improvements in their financial forecasting and modeling, with NHS Trusts in particular developing their commercial financial skills, would be beneficial especially if they intend to become foundation trusts.
