Audit Scotland
Audit Scotland is a statutory, independent body that provides services to the Auditor General and the Accounts Commission. Together they help to ensure that organisations spending public money in Scotland use it properly, efficiently and effectively. Audit Scotland has welcomed the Efficient Government initiative's focus on continuous improvement and greater efficiency in the delivery of public services.
Letter from Audit Scotland
Audit Scotland published their report The Efficient Government Initiative - A Progress Report on the first year of the programme on 19 December 2006. The report highlights evidence to suggest the initiative is progressing and it is delivering efficiencies which would not otherwise have been achieved.
