The National Audit Office (NAO) of the UK published a report on "Delivering Regulatory Reform" on 17 February. The aim of the review was to examine why "despite considerable efforts to improve the business experience of regulation, there has been little discernable progress in improving business perceptions of regulation." The report therefore examines the overall management of regulation across central government, focusing on the impact of regulation on business (Part One), how departments choose to regulate (Part Two), and the implementation of regulation (Part Three).
On the NAO website, the summary in one sentence of the report is: "The Better Regulation Executive and government departments are not yet in a position to achieve value for money in their management of regulation. However, they have developed important elements of a structured approach to achieving sustainable reductions in regulatory costs and have delivered significant benefits." Recommendations include "clear accountabilities and effective incentives for departments, a detailed plan for delivery and longer term management of the flow of regulation."
The NAO website includes a wealth of information on RR in the UK, in particular an October 2010 briefing paper presenting an overview of regulatory reform, the background to the system and the recent work that the National Audit Office had conducted in the area.
