The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what the remit is of the KPMG audit of Scottish Enterprise’s finances; when the audit was commissioned and by whom, whether the audit was subject to competitive tender; what its cost will be and from which budget it will be paid; what the timescale is for completion of the audit; whether the report will be made public, and which financial years the audit will cover.
The answer
The Scottish Executive’sProcurement Directorate invited KPMG to tender for work on 28 March 2006. Thiswas not subject to competitive tender. The work is not an audit, that being theresponsibility of Audit Scotland. The cost is around £60,000 and will be met from theadministration budget of the Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning Department. Thefinal report was made available on 24 April 2006.
