The National Audit Office has today published a briefing describing how the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS), which has one of the largest and most complex EU Exit portfolios in government, is preparing to deliver a successful exit from the EU.
The briefing describes the following:
- The scale of the task. We set out the work streams BEIS has identified to deliver Exit and the range of stakeholders it will need to consult.
- How BEIS has organised its response. We set out how BEIS has established its EU Exit team and governance structure.
- How BEIS has set about its task. We set out BEIS’ approach to planning its work and resources to deliver an effective exit from the EU.

NAO website. Hard copies can be obtained by using the relevant links on our website.
2.The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 785 people. 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. Our work led to audited savings of £734 million in 2016.
