The 2021/22 audit of the Crofting Commission
Background
On 8 December 2022, the Auditor General for Scotland published the 2021/22 audit of the Crofting Commission.
The report says:
"The Commission has acted quickly to address the leadership and governance issues reported in the 2020/21 audit.
All recommendations from the 2020/21 audit have been fully implemented.
This includes revising and clarifying roles and decision-making responsibilities, establishing a more formal budget-setting process, and concluding an independent review of workforce needs.
It is important that the Commission maintains the positive momentum it has demonstrated to date".
