Independent
Be an evidence-based source of independent and objective insight and guidance to support beneficial change in the public sector by sharing insights into how public bodies can improve services.

Effectiveness
Enhance the efficiency, effectiveness and high standards of public audit across the public sector by active co-operation between the audit organisations, sharing knowledge and good practice on the application of audit standards and codes of practice of the auditors of bodies delivering public services.
