Auditing is a separate function. GBR will already be subject to independent audit through the National Audit Office, including the audit of its annual accounts. Requiring the ORR to undertake an additional auditing role would therefore duplicate established arrangements and blur the distinct responsibilities of the regulator and the auditor.
