Impact 1: Parliament provides effective scrutiny of the public sector

Our advice and reports to parliamentary select committees help them to hold the public sector to account. The information we provide must be relevant, reliable, and timely. We formally and informally assess feedback. Both confirm our reports and advice to Parliament are effective and support Parliament in its scrutiny of public organisations.

We formally measure this by surveying parliamentary select committee chairpersons every two years on whether our advice and reports were helpful.
