At Veritau, the public sector is at the heart of everything we do.
Veritau Public Sector is owned by six local authorities, City of York Council (CYC), North Yorkshire Council (NYC), Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council , Middlesbrough Council , Leicester City Council and Cherwell District Council. We’re experts in local government assurance.
We understand that local government service delivery has never been more challenging, which is why we work to support our member councils with a variety of services, providing assurance, helping to alleviate pressures and mitigating risks.
We provide independent and objective assurance while understanding the public sector ethos and each organisation’s operating context.
