LOCAL GOVERNMENT, ENGLAND AND WALES
These Regulations make provision about auditor panels established under Part 3 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 (“the Act”). Auditor panels give advice on the selection and appointment of an auditor to audit the accounts of relevant authorities (as to which, see section 2 of, and Schedule 2 to, the Act). Schedule 4 to the Act makes provision about auditor panels and paragraph 2 (which relates to relevant authorities which are not health service bodies within the meaning in section 3(9) of the Act) contains provision about members of auditor panels. Panels must consist of a majority of independent members; individuals who have been a member or officer of a relevant authority within 5 years of the time in question cannot be independent members of the audit panel that advises that authority.
