Our purpose
Our purpose is at the heart of everything we do in Audit Wales. However, we recognise that the way in which we deliver this will change to reflect the significant challenges facing public services today.
Our vision
Our vision is for Audit Wales to increase our impact by:
Challenges and opportunities
After a long period of austerity and the economic and social impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the coming years will offer little respite for stretched public finances.
Many of the challenges we face in Wales today – inequality, public health and the climate emergency – are complex and inter-connected and our audit focus will evolve to reflect this.
Our work programme will be shaped by three trends identified in our Picture of Public Services analysis.
A changing world
The pandemic
Transforming service delivery
Building blocks
We have identified three areas where we will prioritise action to achieve our ambitions, alongside the delivery of our core statutory responsibilities.
