Audit Commission (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50298668 (14 December 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information about an appointed auditor and his audit of Basildon Council. The public authority provided the complainant with contact details for the appointed auditor and stated that it did not hold any information that fell within the scope of the request. This was because all the information was held by the auditor for their own statutory purposes and was not held by the Audit Commission. The Commissioner has investigated the complaint and is satisfied that the public authority does not hold information covered by the scope of the request and therefore that it complied with its obligations under section 1(1) of the Act. However, the public authority breached section 10(1) for failing to comply with section 1(1)(a) within 20 working days. He requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
