Annual reports for 2010/11 now available for Audit Scotland and the Accounts Commission

The Audit Scotland annual report sets out our progress under each of our five corporate priorities:

• Deliver more streamlined audit in partnership with other scrutiny bodies
• Maximise our contribution to the improvement of public services.
• Increase the impact of our work.
• Become a centre of excellence for public audit.
• Improve the transparency of our costs and governance arrangements.

During 2010/11, on behalf of the Auditor General and the Accounts Commission, Audit Scotland was responsible for the audit of 212 public bodies with a total spend of £45 billion a year. We also made significant progress in delivering an audit regime that is valued by audited bodies, stakeholders and service users.

The reports reflect the various achievements of both bodies over the year as well as summarising the body of work Audit Scotland produced in 2010/11.

The audited accounts of Audit Scotland are also available here on our website.
