This Interim Report describes the progress made over the period 1 April to 30 September 2024 towards delivering our planned programmes of work, and on achieving our key performance indicator targets.

Progress we’ve made since April

We’ve made good progress on delivering a comprehensive and impactful programme of audit work. This includes completing all NHS and central government accounts audits and publishing ten national report outputs. We’re also on track to certify most 2023-24 local government accounts that were prepared on time by the 30 November deadline.

We have clear plans to catch up with the post-pandemic backlog and bring forward the timeframes for delivery of our local government and NHS work.

Work on our website is on-going so that we can promote examples of good practice and produce a live version of our programme of national studies.

We’ve also further invested in our graduate trainee and apprenticeship schemes and launched a long-term workforce strategy to secure and develop our workforce.
