  • Departmental Overview the Performance of the Department For
    DEPARTMENTAL OVERVIEW The performance of the Department for Transport 2012-13 JANUARY 2014 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 860 staff. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of almost £1.2 billion in 2012. Contents Introduction Aim and scope of this briefing 4 Part One About the Department 5 Part Two Recent NAO work on the Department 22 Part Three Briefing on the reform of the motoring agencies 30 Appendix One The Department for Transport Group at 1 April 2013 (for accounting purposes) 38 Appendix Two Results of the Civil Service People Survey 2012 40 Appendix Three Publications by the NAO on the Department since August 2012 42 Appendix Four Cross-government reports of relevance to the Department published since August 2012 43 Links to external websites were valid at the time of publication of this report.
