Paragraph: 26
Lack of shared purpose for local authority accounts hinders democratic accountability
Conclusion
There is currently no shared view of the purposes of local authority accounts and who should be using them. This has made it difficult to decide what the format and contents of the accounts, and their accompanying audit outputs, should be so that accounts fulfil their role in supporting local democracy and accountability.
