Monday, 17 December 2007 |
The Scottish Commission for Public Audit has today recommended that the Scottish Parliament approve Audit Scotland’s budget proposals for 2008-09.
Commenting on the recommendation, Commission convener Angela Constance
MSP said: "Since the newly-appointed members of the Commission began
their work in June we have examined Audit Scotland's accounts for year
ended March 2007, its funding for the current year and its plans for
2008-09.
"Throughout this work we have sought explanations from the Auditor
General and Audit Scotland management on a number of specific matters
to help us understand the business cycle and the funding it requires.
"In its report, the Commission has approved Audit Scotland's budget
plans. It has also made a number of recommendations to seek further
clarification on Audit Scotland's approach to planned efficiency
savings; the way in which Audit Scotland's business cycle influences
its funding requirements and its perceived reliance on end-year
flexibility. This will help us ensure that Audit Scotland demonstrates
the highest levels of transparency and efficiency in its own budgeting."
