Value for money
In 2005 the Audit Commission changed the way it carried out the next round of CPA assessments for district councils. This put greater emphasis on assessing how district councils use their resources and how they provide value for money for local residents. Each year since 2005 the council submits a Value for Money Self-Assessment proforma and supporting evidence:
- Value
for money 2005 and Key lines of enquiry for use of Resources 125kb
- Value for money 2006
- Value for money 2007
