大象传媒

Over the past year, we've taken significant steps to open up the NAO's access to 大象传媒 information further, in particular by ensuring they have a right of access to confidential contracts, including talent pay. And, following discussions with Government, we can now confirm we have reached agreement with the Government to bolster these arrangements.

We support a move to allow the NAO to choose which areas of 大象传媒 operations it will review on an annual basis. In our view, this does not threaten the 大象传媒's independence from Government or Parliament, provided that the NAO continues to report to the Trust and does not question editorial decision-making. Subject to further discussion between the Trust and the DCMS, we are confident that this change can be made through amendments to the 大象传媒 Agreement within the terms of the existing Charter.
