Public Audit Committee
The Public Audit Committee was established in June 2021. It mainly focuses on reports published by the Auditor General for Scotland to ensure that public money is spent efficiently and effectively by
- the Scottish Government, and
- other public bodies (including colleges, police and fire services and the NHS).
If you want to get in touch, you can contact Lynn Russell, the Clerk for the committee at publicaudit.committee@parliament.scot.
