The Local Audit (Delegation of Functions) and Statutory Audit (Delegation of Functions) Order 2014

This Order concerns the transfer of functions of the Secretary of State under Part 42 of the Companies Act 2006 (statutory auditors), as applied with modifications to local audits by Schedule 5 to the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014.
