The National Audit Office employs some 550 staff, who either have accountancy qualifications or are training for them. Of those, 60 have degrees in economics, although none are full-time professional economists. The office conducts a wide range of studies. When specialised advice is needed on relevant economic issues, the NAO uses external experts.
