The EU and the Audit (0 comments)

What Sir John Bourn had to say November 2006

 

The Comptroller and Auditor General at the UK's National Audit Office said that, were he required to issue a single Statement of Assurance on the UK Government's accounts in the same way as the Court of Auditors does for Europe's accounts, he, like the Court, would be unable to do so . This is because last year he issued a qualified opinion on 13 of the 500 accounts of the British Government which he audits

 

The above is from a Select Committee report on the EU in their annual Statement of Assurance

 

NB

A Comptroller is a management level position responsible for supervising the quality of accounting and financial reporting of an organization
