HC Deb 05 April 1982 vol 21 c789

39A.—(1) In auditing any accounts in accordance with this Schedule, an auditor shall by examination of the accounts and otherwise satisfy himself that the body concerned has complied with the requirements of paragraph 38 above.

(2) The auditor shall consider whether, in the public interest, he should make a report on any matter coming to his notice in the course of the audit in order that it may be considered by the body concerned or brought to the attention of the public, and shall consider whether the public interest requires any such matter to be made the subject of an immediate report rather than of a report to be made at the conclusion of the audit.
