Proposed work programme and scales of fees 2010/11 and indicative fee proposals for 2011/12 and 2012/13 (6th July 2009)
The Audit Commission is consulting on its proposed scale of fees for 2010/11 and the indicative fees for 2011/12 and 2012/13.
The proposals recognise the financial pressures that public bodies are facing in the current economic climate, so the Commission has decided to double the previously announced subsidy to local government bodies to cover the one-off element of the cost of transition to new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The Commission has brought forward the annual consultation on fees with the aim of publishing the final fee scales by the end of October. This is to help audited bodies take account of our proposals when they set their budgets and medium-term financial planning.
Closing date for comments is 4th September 2009.

Consultation on the revision of the Fair Access to Care Services guidance to support councils to determine eligibility for social care services (14th July 2009)
This paper is a consultation carried out by the Department of Health on the revision of the statutory guidance providing local authorities with a framework to determine individual eligibility for social care – the “Fair Access to Care Services” guidance. The draft revised guidance now put to consultation aims to reset the eligibility criteria framework within the policy context of personalisation and prevention set out in the cross-sector agreement for the transformation of adult social care - Putting People First. In light of the independent review undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) on the application of eligibility criteria, the draft revised guidance also aims to support councils to implement eligibility criteria in a way that is as fair, consistent and transparent as possible, taking into account the needs of the wider community as well as individual need for support.
