Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA)
Fareham Borough Council has been assessed as a 'Good' council and is
improving according to a report published by the Audit Commission. You can read
the community digest (103 Kb) 
or the full report (300 Kb) to find out more.
CPA is about helping local councils improve local services for their communities. CPA is a key element of the Government's performance framework for local government. It will support improvement planning in local authorities and lead to co-ordinated and proportionate audit and inspection and increased freedoms and flexibilities for local government.
The Audit Commission's role in CPA is to form a judgement on the performance of every single tier, county and district council in England. Once a judgement has been formed, the Audit Commission will produce a 'balanced scorecard' for every authority, available to the public.
As part of CPA, Fareham Borough Council produced a draft Self Assessment which
was subject to a 'Peer Challenge' (231 Kb)
. The Self Assessment was
then reviewed, finalised and approved by the Executive before being
sent to the Audit Commission.
The supporting documents referred to in the Self Assessment provide evidence on how well Fareham Borough Council is performing. These have all been published except where information is confidential.
In addition, the Council produced three diagnostic assessments in accordance with the guidance from the Audit Commission.
The on-site inspection took place between 29th September and 3rd October 2003.
