National Audit Office (UK)

The National Audit Office (NAO) is an independent body in the UK responsible for overseeing government spending. It examines how public money is used and assesses whether it is spent efficiently and effectively. The NAO conducts audits of government departments and public organizations, producing reports that help Parliament understand financial performance and accountability. Its work aims to ensure transparency in government finances, promote improvements in public services, and inform taxpayers about how their money is managed. Ultimately, the NAO helps to ensure that public funds are used wisely for the benefit of society.
