The CLG has released information in the form of letters, internal emails, submissions and other documents relating to various considerations concerning the decision to abolish the Audit Commission. One of the disclosed emails refers to Eric Pickles' intention to redefine the commission so that its audit practice is no longer the "fifth largest audit firm in the country". Under the Secretary of State's plans, councils and other bodies covered by the commission will be free to appoint their own auditors, while the National Audit Office - the Whitehall spending watchdog - will oversee the audit regime. Find links to the documents on the CLG website.
