Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014

Paragraph 2: Procedure for code

66.This paragraph sets out the procedure for gaining Parliamentary approval to a code, which is required before a code can come into force. The Comptroller and Auditor General is required to publish the draft code, which is then laid before both Houses of Parliament by a Government Minister. If, within 40 days after laying, either House of Parliament resolves not to approve the code, the Comptroller and Auditor General must not publish it and must prepare another code of audit practice unless one or more is already in place. If Parliament does not resolve against the code, the Comptroller and Auditor must publish it.
