MINISTRY OF HOUSING COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking to appoint five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board. Local public bodies are at the heart of our communities. They support democracy and help deliver vital public services. The local audit system covers a wide range of public sector bodies (including local authorities, police, fire and National Health Service bodies). An effective and efficient external audit system is vital to ensure transparency and accountability for billions of pounds of public funds. This government is driving a major overhaul of the local audit system by leading one of the most ambitious and wide-reaching reform programmes in over a decade. These efforts mark a decisive shift toward modernising a broken system that has struggled with complexity, fragmentation and capacity challenges. The scale of the problem has been epitomised by the backlog of outstanding unaudited accounts, which led to a paralysis of local audit prior to this government's decision action to tackle it. The problems in local government financial reporting and the backlog in unaudited accounts has regrettably led to the disclaimer on the Whole of Government Accounts for both 2022/23 and 2023/24, and a general loss of public accountability and trust in the system. As part of our overhaul of the local audit system, we are launching the new Local Audit Office. The Local Audit Office will: Play a critical role in ensuring the effective delivery of reforms, strengthening accountability, securing better value for money for taxpayers, and supporting long-term economic growth. Reduce the complexity of the current arrangements, improve coordination across the system and improve capacity and capability. Oversee and coordinate the auditing of local public bodies to promote effective, value for money and timely local audit, and to put the system back onto a secure and reliable footing. Rebuild transparency, accountability and public trust, restoring a crucial part of the early warning system for authorities facing potential failure and challenge.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking five highly-skilled and experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Local Audit Office Board to play a crucial role in the establishment and running of this new organisation.

Over time, WPP IM Co will help channel long-term pension capital into clean energy, affordable housing, innovation and other investments that strengthen Wales and the UK - demonstrating how responsible investment can serve members and the communities they live in. The organisation is now seeking its first ever Independent Non-Executive Chair to lead the Board through mobilisation and into operation. The Chair will set the tone for integrity, professionalism and public purpose - ensuring effective governance, strong fiduciary standards and trusted relationships with Government, regulators and shareholders. You will lead a compact, high-calibre Board that brings together independent and shareholder directors alongside experienced executives. Working with the CEO and Board colleagues, you will help shape strategy, embed robust governance, and ensure WPP IM Co delivers for its investors, its members and for Wales. You may already be an experienced NED or Chair, or ready to take that step for the first time as an Executive. You will bring strategic clarity and calm authority at Board level and a steady hand with a collaborative style. You will be able to build trust across Government, regulators and markets and will be politically astute, operating with integrity and good judgement while appreciating that WPP IM Co exists in a devolved nation context. In addition, you will bring experience within investment management, pensions or financial services regulation.
