The Scottish Commission for Public Audit (SCPA) is made up of 5 Members of the Scottish Parliament. The SCPA is not a parliament committee.

The Commission is responsible for:

  • looking at Audit Scotland's proposals for the use of resources and spend, then reporting on them to the Parliament
  • appointing a qualified person to audit the accounts of Audit Scotland
  • presenting and publishing a copy of Audit Scotland’s accounts and the auditor's report on them
  • appointing 3 of the 5 members of Audit Scotland under terms and conditions agreed by the SCPA
  • appointing 1 of these 3 members to be the chair of Audit Scotland

It was set up under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000 (Section 12).

Written agreement between SCPA and Audit Scotland
