Background
It is best practice and outlined in the Scottish Government’s Audit Committee handbook that the ARAC should consider significant accounting policies, any changes to them and any significant estimates and judgements.
1This allows committee consideration of these key matters prior to the preparation of the Annual Report and Accounts (ARA).
The full draft ARA including these accounting policies, estimates and judgements will be formally presenting for noting in August for submission to external audit. Following completion of the audit the final ARA is expected to be approved in September.
