Annual audit reports
Audit Scotland appoint external auditors to carry out an annual audit of all local authorities. They:

- look at aspects of performance management and governance.
Audit reports, for elected members, set out the main findings and summarise key outcomes and the outlook for the period ahead.

Code of Corporate Governance
Our Local Code of Corporate Governance (PDF, 279kb) reflects the requirements of:
- CIPFA Delivering Good Governance in Local Government Framework 2016 Edition
- the supporting Guidance Notes for Scottish Authorities 2016 Edition
The framework outlines the core principles for governing at a local level. We build our code around this framework.
It positions the attainment of sustainable economic, societal, and environmental outcomes as a key focus of governance processes and structures.
There is focus on:
- long term sustainability
- the crucial links between governance and public financial management
We must consider the impact of decisions and actions on future generations. Within our code you can see how we:
- demonstrate compliance with these principles
- work to uphold them on a day to day basis.
