FOI Request - Inspection of Accounts Research

Request 101003358581

I am interested in researching the issue of the Inspection of Accounts rights under the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014, to see if or how it is being used across local government in the UK

I wanted to ask for data, between 2019/20 and 2022/23 for

1.  If the accounts were published in those years.
2.  Number of people who inspected the accounts in the time periods each year.
3.  Number of requests/questions asked, and what they were/what areas they covered.
4.  Number of objections raised, and what they were.
5.  Any FOI requests relating to the accounts or finances.
6.  Any changes made to the accounts as a result.  

Response 09-08-2023

1. Yes, but 22/23 is currently in the inspection period.

2. Accounts are on the website for inspection and we do not have this information. Information that is not held falls under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held

3. None

4. None. 

5. None.

6. None.
