Use of Resources

KPMG LLP is the appointed auditior of Wychavon District Council. External audits are undertaken in accordance with the Audit Commission's Code of Audit Practice.

External audits tell us how well we are doing as a council and help us to imporve the services we provide for our communities.

In 2006, the Council was one of only a few councils nationally to be awarded the top marks by the Audit Commission for its “use of resources” .Here is the self assessment (44.01 KB) that we submitted and the final auditors report (84.12 KB)..

The latest details of our most recent external audit are set out in the annual audit letter (101.10 KB).

The purpose of preparing and issuing annual audit letters is to communicate to the audited body and key external stakeholders, including members of the public, the key issues arising from auditors' work, which auditors consider should be brought to the attention of the audited body. The annual audit letter covers the work carried out by auditors since the previous annual audit letter was issued.
