Does the appointing person take on all Auditor Panel roles and therefore mitigate the need for there to be one in each individual authority?

Opting in to the appointing person scheme removes the need for a body to set up an independent Auditor Panel. The detailed requirements for this are set out in the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and the Local Audit (Appointing Person) Regulations 2015.
