At the end of every Assembly, committees look back on the work they’ve done over the previous five years, and think about the advice they want to leave for the next committee.
They are a useful source of information for new committees, the Members who serve on them and for anyone who takes an interest in their work. They can help all of us to understand what has happened in the past, and the forces that will influence what happens next.

The Public Accounts Committee was established on 22 June 2011. Its role was to ensure that proper and thorough scrutiny was given to Welsh Government expenditure. The specific functions of the Committee were set out in Standing Order 18. The Committee considered reports prepared by the Auditor General for Wales on the accounts of the Welsh Government and other public bodies, and on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which resources were employed in the discharge of public functions.
