The theme of the 2006 conference is ‘One Vision, Many Perspectives’. It will seek to reflect the very diverse landscape of public sector audit as a whole, whilst at the same time, draw together the many things that unite auditors, learn lessons from other areas, and together, deliver a public sector audit service that is the envy of the world. This popular event regularly attracts around 150 heads of audit from the public sector and other senior finance professionals.
