Audit Commission
With effect from April 2009 the Audit Commission introduced a new way of assessing local authorities with is known as the Comprehensive Area Assessment.
This is made up of two judgements - one on how well we manage performance and on how well we use our resources, which is split into judgements in three areas; how we manage our finances, how we govern our business and how we manage our resources.
Each local authority is given a score out of 4, with 4 being the highest.
Our Current Scores are:
- Managing Performance - 2 out of 4
- Use of resources - 2 out of 4
- Managing finances - 2 out of 4
- Governing our business - 2 out of 4
- Managing our resources - 2 out of 4
