Shared learning from the Welsh Local Government Association, Monmouthshire Council and the Wales Audit Office

About the seminar

This seminar draws on the key learning drawn from local government preparation for the Well-being of Future Generations Act that will be of interest across all public services in Wales. The Wales Audit Office has been actively engaged with the WLGA to enhance an understanding of the role of audit in the implementation of the WFG Act. As part of this engagement with the WLGA, the Wales Audit Office undertook a review of Monmouthshire County Council’s preparedness for the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.

The Wales Audit Office recognises that the WFG Act will be challenging for both public bodies and public audit. In the seminar the WLGA will take the opportunity to share key learning with the wider public sector. The WAO and MCC will use their experience to explore how public bodies can prepare for the challenges that the WFG Act will present, as well as seize the opportunities it offers. We will also begin a conversation about how public audit may need to do business differently.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to share their own experience and contribute to a discussion on the future shape of audit. Walking away from this seminar, delegates will have a better understanding of how public bodies are preparing themselves for the WFG Act.
