Jeremy Colman stood down from the office of Auditor General for Wales following an internal review around matters of personal conduct, which were then refered to the police. His resignation has been forwarded to the Queen by the National Assembly for Wales which is now taking steps to nominate an interim successor until a permanent replacement can be found.
The appointment process for Jeremy Colman’s successor will be handled by the National Assembly for Wales’ Public Accounts Committee and will be formally appointed by the Queen.
In the meantime, the Wales Audit Office Executive Committee will remain responsible for the day-to-day running of the organisation.

- The Wales Audit Office was created in April 2005 through the Public Audit (Wales) Act, 2004, which expanded the functions of the Auditor General for Wales and enabled the transfer of staffs from the Audit Commission in Wales and National Audit Office in Wales to his employment.
- Its mission is to promote improvement, so that people in Wales benefit from accountable, well-managed public services that offer the best possible value for money. It is also committed to identify and spreading good practice across the Welsh public sector.
