Recommendation
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities must immediately initiate a review into existing legislation that places requirements on the contents and format of local authority accounts. The review should refer to the intended purposes and users of the accounts (as we have set out earlier) and determine what legislation is needed to produce accounts to meet those purposes. The Government must then introduce legislation to amend existing legislation to meet that objective.
