Public Sector Audit Appointments (PSAA) has announced Tony Crawley as its new chief executive.
PSAA is responsible for appointing auditors to principal local government and police bodies, for setting audit fees and for making arrangements for the certification of housing benefit subsidy claims.
Crawley will join in mid October from accounting firm KPMG, where he specialised in local public audit.
He was previously a district auditor for District Audit, the delivery arm of the former Audit Commission.
Steve Freer, PSAA chairman, said that Crawley’s “wealth of knowledge and front-line experience of auditing local public bodies will be invaluable in his new role”.
