Mr. John McCarthy:
They are discretionary but the audit service has adopted a strategy of working with local authorities to ensure that the audit process of the annual accounts can be completed in so far as possible by the end of September, which is in line with approach of the Comptroller and Auditor General. The balance of available resources in the year are then used for value for money examinations. It is discretionary but it becomes more and more a part of the process.
