Part 2: Local Authorities — Governance and Audit

Chapter 3: Audit of Entities Connected With Local Authorities
Section 54 - Interpretation

125.This section contains interpretation provisions relating to this Chapter. Section 54(2) provides that an entity “connected with” a local authority has the meaning provided in subsection 212(6) of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, namely that an entity is connected with a local authority if financial information about the entity must be included in the local authority’s statement of accounts. However, a local authority is not considered to be an entity itself in the 2007 Act.
