Annual Quality Monitoring Report
We prepare an Annual Audit Quality Monitoring report across all of our supplier firms. This report is based on our quarterly audit quality and contract monitoring reports.
We report on the three headline indicators of compliance with professional regulation, client satisfaction, and contractual compliance, with relevant supporting information.
Client survey
As part of our contract monitoring arrangements we undertake a survey of opted-in bodies to obtain views from Directors of Finance and Audit Committee Chairs on the delivery of their audit, and to identify areas for improvement. This feedback is vital as it informs our discussions with the firms and other key stakeholders involved in local audit in England.
For the 2023/24 audits (the start of the second appointing period) we will issue the survey shortly after the auditor has given their opinion. If an audit opinion is given in September or October 2024, a survey will be issued during November. We encourage all respondents to be open and frank in their feedback; all responses are treated confidentially unless permission is given to us to share this with your auditor.
For independence and transparency the LGA’s Research and Information Team deliver the survey, analysis and reporting of feedback.
