ACCA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Call for Evidence on the Whole of Government Accounts 2021-22 (WGA).
ACCA previously responded to the call for evidence on the 2020-21 WGA in October 2023, citing concerns that lessons from the past were not being effectively implemented, the major matters being data quality, data collection and the timeliness of local government audits. Timely publication of the UK Whole of Government Accounts is crucial for promoting accountability, informing decision-making, managing risks, and maintaining public trust in the government's financial management.
