Audit appointments

Audits are undertaken by Audit Scotland's Audit Services Group or by private firms. Audit appointments are made by the Accounts Commission (for local government) and the Auditor General for Scotland (for other sectors).

The list below shows all the audits in each sector and who will be carrying them out for the 2019/20 audits.

The number of audits can change during the year so this list will be updated regularly.
