Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 17 of the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009 ("the Measure") imposes a duty on the Auditor General for Wales to carry out an audit for the purposes of determining whether a Welsh improvement authority has discharged its duties under section 15 of the Measure.
Section 18 of the Measure places a duty on the Auditor General for Wales to carry out an assessment in respect of each financial year determining whether a Welsh improvement authority is likely to comply with the requirements of Part 1 of the Measure.
