Overview of our performance
We have summarised whether our performance improved, declined, or was maintained for each group of our measures and targets. Although we completed most of the audits of large public organisations on time, the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on staff availability for public organisations and audit service providers affected the timely completion of audits.
