15 March 2011 Review of the National Compact David Clarke Civil Society & Commissioning VFM Team

The National Audit Office NOT the Audit Commission Financial & Value For Money audit of central government (c. £950 billion p.a.) Headed by the Comptroller & Auditor General (C&AG) Provides independent information, assurance and advice to Parliament in the use of public resources Promote better financial management and value for money C&AG has complete discretion over reports - including scope, content & timing Agrees factual accuracy – but ‘owns’ conclusions & recommendations Civil Society & Commissioning VFM Team

The renewed Compact – December 2010 A renewed Compact, the agreement which governs relations between the Government and civil society organisations in England Aims to create the right environment for partnership working “The Coalition Government and civil society organisations working effectively in partnership for the benefit of communities and citizens in England.” “In addition, the [NAO] will carry out a one-off study into the operation of the Compact across government … This unprecedented level of scrutiny will enhance adherence to the Compact and provide a strong platform for the Cabinet Office and Compact Voice to work together to embed the agreement in day to day relations between government and civil society.”

Requested by Nick Hurd, Minister for Civil Society C&AG agreed But emphasising –Independent report available to Parliament –Published report – in public domain –Not a critique of the Compact –About implementation The Review “We are keen to support effective partnership working between the public and civil society sectors, particularly as we have found that many Government departments are weak when it comes to delivering through others.”

Aim of the review Provide an evidence base on how government has implemented Compact principles Identify areas of good practice and areas for improvement Have particular regard to transparency and accountability Make recommendations to the Office for Civil Society, departments and public bodies

Scope Central Government - England only Major Departments of State and some of their principal agencies and arm’s length bodies Selection will be made on the basis of: –materiality and risk –extent and type of interaction with the sector –existing information about implementation Fieldwork begins April 2011 Report early July 2011
