The Audit Commission has informed the Mayor and Acting Chief Executive of Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council that we will carry out a corporate governance inspection of the council.

This decision has been taken in the light of serious concerns about the Council’s performance in the last two years and the threat to public confidence caused by recent events.

The inspection will take place as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made.

The team will be led by a senior inspector from the Audit Commission and will include an appropriate mix of expertise from inspectorates and the local government sector.

The Audit Commission will not be making any further statements on this work until the inspection report is published.
