About the National Audit Office

We hold the government to account for the way it uses public money and our advice and recommendations for how to make things better are taken seriously.

We are right at the centre of the drive to promote economy and efficiency in government as we focus on the big systemic, cross-government, and crosscutting issues in order to bring about significant change.

You’ll find us geared up for delivery and impact. We have a great reputation for professionalism, rigour and judgment.
