The Public Audit Committee looks at reports published by the Auditor General for Scotland to examine whether public money is being spent efficiently and effectively.

The Auditor General for Scotland (AGS) is seeking feedback from Parliament and other key stakeholders to refine his longer-term work programme. The draft consultation on his priorities and pipeline of audits:

• how the Auditor General intends to respond to the current context for the public sector in Scotland – including the focus, intended outcomes and priority audit themes for the years ahead.
• audit work in the pipeline for the next two years, including a summary of confirmed audit products.

The specific areas of feedback sought by the AGS are:

• the proposed public audit response to the current operating context for the Scottish Government and public services
• the content of the pipeline of audit work for April 2024 to March 2026
• priority areas for audit work and any gaps in our proposed response
