Audit Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Buidheann-sgrùdaidh na h-Alba) is an independent public body responsible for auditing most of Scotland's public organisations.

These include the Scottish Government, local councils and NHS Scotland.

[5] The work of Audit Scotland is governed by a board which meets around four times a year: the audits are managed by a management team.

The Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee of the Scottish Parliament examines Audit Scotland's proposals for the use of resources and expenditure, then reports to the Scottish Parliament.
