The Audit Commission operates in the accounting sector as a public-sector oversight body in England. It appoints auditors for a range of local public bodies, establishes the standards those auditors must meet, and monitors their work to promote high-quality audits at a prudent cost. By drawing on information from auditors and published data, it produces evidence-based analyses that help local public services learn from one another and manage financial challenges. In addition, the Commission compares data across the public sector to identify areas where services may be open to abuse and to support efforts to combat fraud. Based in London, England, it functions as a mid-sized public sector accounting body serving local public bodies across England.
