Audit Scotland is a statutory body set up in April 2000 under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000. We help the Auditor General for Scotland and the Accounts Commission check that organisations spending public money use it properly, efficiently and effectively. The Auditor General for Scotland secures the audit of the Scottish Government and other public bodies in Scotland, except local authorities, and is independent of the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament. The Accounts Commission checks how well Scotland’s local authorities perform. It operates independently of local and central government.
