Stephen Barclay
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport what expenditure (a) his Department and (b) each public body sponsored by his Department incurred on engaging external audit services in each of the last three years; and to which service providers such payments were made in each year.
[Official Report, 8 March 2011, Vol. 524, c. 924-926W.]
Letter of correction from Mr John Penrose:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for North East Cambridgeshire (Stephen Barclay) on 8 March 2011. The incorrect auditor was listed for the Horserace Betting Levy Board. The auditor was Grant Thornton UK LLP, not the National Audit Office.
The correct answer should have been:
John Penrose
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is audited by the National Audit Office (NAO). The NAO charge notional fees for the audit of central Government Departments and Executive Agencies. There is therefore no expenditure for the external audit of the Department’s Resource Accounts and The Royal Parks Accounts.
The Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport has management and control responsibilities for the National Lottery Distribution Fund (NLDF) and the Olympic Lottery Distribution Fund (OLDF). Both funds are audited by the NAO and charged a hard fee in cash as set out in the following table.
Body | Auditor | 2009-10 | 2008-09 | 2007-08 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Department For Culture, Media and Sport (NLDF) | National Audit Office | 26,500 | 28,900 | 24,000 |
Department For Culture, Media and Sport (OLDF) | National Audit Office | 26,500 | 28,900 | 24,000 |
Most of the Department’s arm’s length bodies are audited by the NAO and are charged a hard fee in cash. The two bodies audited by private firms are companies as well as being charities, and have not been designated for audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General under the Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000.
The following table sets out the bodies, their auditors and the fees charged as disclosed in the bodies’ annual reports and accounts.

These are audited separately and shown as separate lines from the parent body’s accounts. 2 UK Anti-Doping has only been in independent operation since 2009-10. Note: The Big Lottery Fund is a Lottery body but has its Lottery income consolidated with its other figures. |
