2. Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely.
Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold
government to account and improve public services.
The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent
of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB,
is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some
810 people. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and
many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report
to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their
resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for
money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports
on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to
audited savings of £1.15 billion in 2014.
