Consultation on the 2025/26 scale of audit fees

We are consulting on the proposed fee scale for 2025/26 audits. Information on the consultation and how to respond can be found on our website. The closing date for comments is 5pm on Monday 13 October 2025.

We are holding a webinar for bodies on Thursday 2 October from 2pm to 3pm. The aim of the webinar is to explain the elements of the proposed 2025/26 fee scale, and to provide the opportunity for you to ask questions which may inform your response to the consultation. Whilst there will be the opportunity to ask questions during the webinar, we are encouraging delegates to do so in advance.

We are pleased that CIPFA has taken up our invitation to cover CIPFA/LASAAC’s consultation on the 2026/27 Code of Practice on Local Authority Financial Reporting UK in the first part of the webinar. We will pass on any questions on that consultation either submitted in advance or on the day to our CIPFA colleagues.

If you are a s151 Officer or an Audit Committee Chair (or equivalent) and have not received your invitation please contact us to find out how to register.
