BBC Licence Fee Settlement and Annual Report - Culture, Media and Sport Committee Contents


Letter to the Chairman from Amyas Morse, Comptroller and Auditor General, National Audit Office, 22 October 2010

NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE ACCESS TO THE BBC'S ACCOUNTS

Thank you for your letter of 7 October asking for my assessment of the recently announced agreement between the Government and the BBC on National Audit Office access to the BBC's accounts.

I thought the most helpful way of responding to the points you raised would be to let you see the letter I have sent to the Secretary of State today (see attached). I should also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the valuable work you and your Committee have been doing to strengthen scrutiny of the BBC's finances.

If there any matters you would like to discuss I would, of course, be happy to do so.
