The role of the National Audit
Office
• We scrutinise public spending on behalf
of UK Parliament
• We help to hold government
departments to account for how they
use public money
• Our work helps public service managers
to improve performance and service
delivery, nationally and locally

A lot at stake for government
• Value for money at stake - £600 billion
spent on providing services 70% of staff in
operational roles
• 2005 – significant investment in operations
management across UK government
• 2011 - all departments must have a
continuous improvement strategy
• Using these principles to manage and
improve is a good thing……..if done well

What we mean by ‘government’
• It is big
• It is complicated
• It does everything
• It has all the complications of a
multinational corporation…
• …plus some more
