Reporting concerns about entities we audit:
Complaints about an entity can be raised with us through this whistle-blowing link, in writing (email or post), or in person at our offices. All complaints will be treated confidentially. It is our policy not to normally act on anonymous complaints. However, we will consider them to identify whether they provide support or information relevant to other complaints or audit work we are undertaking.
