Risk that current external audit fee levels could increase when current contracts end, but national scheme provides maximum opportunity to ensure fees are as realistic as possible
AI Summary
Kingston Council needs to choose how to appoint its external auditor for accounts from 2023/24 to 2027/28. The report recommends joining the national scheme run by Public Sector Audit Appointments (PSAA) rather than arranging its own local procurement, as this will be more cost-effective and less burdensome for the council.
