of value-for-money audits (Report No. 56 of March 2011 and Report No. 57 of October 2011).

Report No. 56 contained eight chapters, two of which were selected by the Public Accounts Committee for public hearing:

• Hong Kong 2009 East Asian Games; and

• Hong Kong Housing Authority: Management of commercial properties.

Report No. 57 contained 12 chapters, three of which were selected by the Public Accounts Committee for public hearing:

• Food labelling;

• Nutrition labelling of infant and special dietary foods; and

• Water losses from unauthorised consumption and inaccurate metering.

The value-for-money audit reports attracted considerable public interest. The audit recommendations were accepted by the audited organisations.

The Director of Audit's reports on the accounts of other public bodies are submitted to the relevant authority in accordance with the legislation governing the operation of these bodies.

At the invitation of the Public Accounts Committee, the Director of Audit accompanied the committee's delegation on a duty visit to London in March 2011. The purpose of the visit was for members of the Public Accounts Committee to study and obtain first-hand information on the mechanism, operation and working practices of the Committee of Public Accounts of the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.
