Review the purpose and requirements of local audit for proportionality and public value

The Ministry must review the purpose and requirements of local audit to ensure that they are proportionate and deliver maximum value for the public and users of the accounts. There must be clarity about the purpose of local audit, and no effort, time or money should be spent on local audit activities that do not support this purpose. (Recommendation, Paragraph 216)
