Inspection and Comprehensive Area Assessment
From April 2009, Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) will be replaced by a Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) which will be a more risk-based, forward-looking approach that will focus more on the delivery of outcomes for the area than on the performance of individual institutions. Government Ministers jointly commissioned seven inspectorates (led by the Audit Commission) on 3 April 2007 to work together to develop and test a methodology for CAA.
The inspectorates set out their initial thinking on how local priorities would be reflected in CAA and alignment of other performance frameworks in their first joint consultation on 19 November 2007.
A second joint inspectorate CAA consultation paper was published on 29 July 2008. This second consultation provides a clearer, more detailed vision of what CAA will mean in reality for local public services and the communities they serve.
Copies of the second joint consultation document are available on the Audit Commission website at: http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/caa/consultation.asp
