The question

To ask the Chairman of the Public Accounts Commission, what proportion of the working week National Audit Office staff are expected to attend their assigned workplace in person; and whether different policies apply to different types of workers.

Answered by Public Accounts Commission

The National Audit Office (NAO)’s workplace attendance requirement is for all staff to routinely spend a minimum of two days a week working in either NAO offices or those of a body audited by the NAO. The NAO does not differentiate by different types of workers.
