The Local Audit (Smaller Authorities) Regulations 2015

The Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 (c. 2) makes provision about the accounts of local and certain other public authorities and the auditing of those accounts. These Regulations make provision for the appointment of a local auditor by a person specified by the Secretary of State to audit the accounts of smaller authorities that choose to opt in to such arrangements. They also make provision for authorities that are exempt from local audit.
