- Summary:
-
The practice of declaring public accounts before the Lord High Treasurer and the Chancellor of the Exchequer originated in the sixteenth century. An Act of 1785 created five Commissioners of Audit and the number was increased to ten in 1806. In 1866 the Exchequer and Audit Department was created, taking over the responsibilities of the Commissioners of Audit and the Comptroller General of the Exchequer. The Department has always been independent of the Executive and is responsible directly to Parliament for auditing, certifying and reporting on departmental accounts.
