Rejected petition Fully audit the BBC and make public so we know how the license fee is spent.
As it costs each household £154.50 per year to fund our state television service. Us the public would like to know how much revenue is raised and how the license fee is spent by independently auditing the BBC down to the nearest penny. We have a right to know as we are funding it.
More details
A break down of costs of programming, wages, travel, expenses and travel costs, funded programming like Eurovision. In fact we want to know everything the BBC does around the globe. It must be independently audited. Not by BBC accountancy or Government. It will then be made available to the public online so we can decide if it is good value and if we need to vote for the abolishment of the license fee and have it replaced with a subscription based service including advertising to raise revenue.
