The Audit Commission is one of the oldest government departments of the Government of Hong Kong, known as Audit Department before July 1, 1997. The Director of Audit is appointed by the Chief Executive (previously the Governors of Hong Kong). The Director reports to the Chief Executive, not the Legislative Council. Its main functions are "to provide independent, professional and quality audit services to the Legislative Council and public sector organisations in order to help the Government enhance public sector performance and accountability in Hong Kong." According to the Audit Ordinance (Cap. 122) the Director of Audit “has wide powers of access to the records of departments”, “can require any public officer to give an explanation and to furnish such information as he thinks fit to enable him to discharge his duties” and “is not subject to the direction or control of any other person or authority in performing his duties and when exercising his powers under the Ordinance.”
The Audit Commission was a statutory corporation in the United Kingdom.
The Commission’s primary objective was to appoint auditors to a range of local public bodies in England, set the standards for auditors and oversee their work.
On 13 August 2010, it was leaked to the media, ahead of an official announcement, that the Commission is to be scrapped, with its functions being transferred to the voluntary, not-for-profit or private sector. In 2009-10 the Commission cost the central government £28m to run, with the remainder of its income coming from audit fees charged to local public bodies. The Commission closed on 31 March 2015.
History
The Audit Commission was established under the Local Government Finance Act 1982, to appoint auditors to all local authorities in England and Wales and it became operational on 1 April 1983. The National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 extended the remit of the Commission to cover health service bodies. Legislation covering the Commission’s activities was consolidated into the Audit Commission Act 1998. In 1985-86 the commission led the investigation of the rate-capping rebellion which resulted in 32 Lambeth councillors and 47 Liverpool councillors being surcharged and banned from office.
Audit Commission Hints On University Audits in Next 5 Years | HOY International Business Channel
Amid the ongoing controversies triggered by the governance of the public-funded University of Hong Kong, Audit Commission chief Nelson Lam hinted that the city's official auditor may conduct audits on the eight government-funded universities again in the next five years.
Speaking to i-Cable's "Let's Talk", director of audit Nelson Lam denoted that the most-funded university is receiving five to six billions dollars. But when the commission made decision on whether to audit a university, it has two principles in mind. One is the comprehensiveness of coverage. The other is whether the audit results of one university could make impacts on the others.
