The audit is not yet able to be fully concluded as Grant Thornton is yet to complete the necessary work in relation to consolidation returns, including the Whole of Government Accounts (WGA), and the National Audit Office has not yet concluded their work in respect of WGA for the year ended 31 March 2024. Once this work has been completed, we will publish the Notice of Conclusion of the Audit.
