In answering this Q&A, we have focused on the new framework under the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 (LAAA 2014). With the abolition of the Audit Commission, its functions in relation to non-local authority public bodies were largely transferred or subsumed by other bodies.

The Audit Commission’s former powers in relation to registered social landlords were largely transferred to the Regulator of Social Housing. These other regulators are outside the scope of this note. The Audit Commission’s powers to require public bodies to publish information enabling their performance to be compared existed in England from 1992 until 2015. These powers
