answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p>The majority of the NAO's contracted work planned in 2014–15 is in financial audit, where additional audit resources are provided by some half-a-dozen private audit firms. The NAO's partners are chosen through a rigorous process, in line with EU rules on public sector procurement, to ensure value for money. Financial audit work comprises some 55% of the NAO's total activity and around 20% of the NAO's financial audit work is outsourced.</p><p>The use of private firms to carry out some audits is included in the NAO's Strategy, approved by the Public Accounts Commission. The current mix ensures that the NAO maintains the breadth of insight into departments which the C&amp;AG derives on behalf of Parliament from having NAO staff undertake financial audits directly, but also has sufficient exposure to the framework partners so as to benchmark the NAO against the private sector and import best practice. The NAO also uses outsourcing arrangements in its value-for-money or investigations work where specialist skills are required.</p><p><strong>% of NAO Activities contracted out</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p>Actual</p></td><td><p>Actual</p></td><td><p>Actual</p></td><td><p>Actual</p></td><td><p>Actual</p></td><td><p>Estimate</p></td></tr><tr><td> </td><td><p>2009–10</p></td><td><p>2010–11</p></td><td><p>2011–12</p></td><td><p>2012–13</p></td><td><p>2013–14</p></td><td><p>2014–15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Professional Services brought in (£ million)</p></td><td><p>17,553</p></td><td><p>13,678</p></td><td><p>13,238</p></td><td><p>11,940</p></td><td><p>10,409</p></td><td><p>10,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total Voted Gross Expenditure<br>(Audit and Assurance) (£ million)</p></td><td><p>94,600</p></td><td><p>92,600</p></td><td><p>87,700</p></td><td><p>89,000</p></td><td><p>84,600</p></td><td><p>83,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>% of activities contracted out</p></td><td><p>19%</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td><td><p>13%</p></td><td><p>12%</p></td><td><p>12%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br>Total Voted Gross Expenditure (Audit and Assurance) excludes the following exceptional expenditure:</p><ul><li>Restructuring of the NAO (£4.2m in 2013–14)</li><li>Refurbishment of the NAO building (£16.2 million in 2009–10)</li><li>Temporary accommodation costs (£5.9 million in 2009–10)</li></ul> answering member constituency Gainsborough answering member printed Sir Edward Leigh question first answered 14/07/2014 16:18:49 answering member 345 label Biography information for Sir Edward Leigh
