Meeting of the Commission
Audit Scotland Annual Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2021 and Auditor’s Report on the Accounts
Meeting date: 1 September 2021
Sharon Dowey
Okay. Let us jump on to the year-end financial position. Will you give a further explanation about why the final budget position, identified as £1.5 million in January 2021, improved significantly by March 2021? Was the funding that was made available but not required returned to the Scottish consolidated fund? Will the £1 million savings that occurred in 2020-21 be made in subsequent years or were they a one-off?

No bother. On the year-end financial position, the final budget position, identified as £1.5 million in January 2021, had improved significantly by March of that year. Was the funding that had been made available but which was not then required returned to the Scottish consolidated fund? Moreover, will the £1 million in savings delivered in 2020-21, as shown on page 30 of the report, recur in subsequent years, or are they just a one-off underspend due, perhaps, to the pandemic?
