Opis

This book explains from a public law perspective the constitutional purpose and significance of audit. It also describes and analyzes the constitutional significance of the changes to the role of audit that are currently taking place as a result of "New public management." The focus of the book is central government audit in Britain. The constitutional role of audit at local level and at European Union level is also considered.

Recenzje

This book makes a significant contribution to the debate on the accountability of the public sector in Britain ... in non-technical language ... The authors explain well the complicated relationship between the C&AG, the NAO and their principal audience the PAC.
