Every five years, a deeper audit, called a 'Best Value Audit' is carried out. Falkirk’s last Best Value Audit was carried out in 2016. We are about to undergo a new Best Value Audit over the course of the next few months and a new Best Value Audit Report will be published in December 2021 or January 2022.
The Best Value Action Plan 2022 sets out the actions the Council will take to embed new processes and ways of working and thinking that will fundamentally change and improve how it functions.
