Subsection (2)
114.This subsection makes specific provision for the report on an audit of an account of payments into and out of the Scottish Consolidated Fund. This requires the auditor to report on his/her findings in relation to whether sums paid out of the fund were paid in accordance with the provisions of section 65 of the 1998 Act (i.e. that they meet the specified conditions for payments out of the Fund), and also as to whether they were paid out in accordance with sections 4 to 6 of this Act, which set out further requirements in relation to payments made from the Fund. The report is also required to set out the auditor’s findings on whether the account complies with any applicable direction.
