The EPA carries out audits of local authorities under the Local Authority Performance Framework. These audits focus on implementation of the national enforcement priorities and provide an opportunity for the EPA to offer advice and support to help improve statutory performance. The audits allow the EPA to examine the nature, scope and impacts of the local authority enforcement activities. The audits are carried out in accordance with Section 63(2) of the Environmental Protection Agency Acts 1992 and 2003.
