Diversity and equality

Our combined differences ensure a rich mix of talent exists for the benefit of our clients and stakeholders.
Our approach to recruitment ensures equality of opportunity for all. This commitment is evident in everything we do - from learning and development, working practices we employ through to the way we interact with eachother, respecting and taking account of individual differences.
At Audit Scotland we strive to take a leading role in promoting equal opportunities practices and diversity both as an employer and as an auditing body. We are committed to valuing and promoting diversity and will work towards increasing the diversity of our staff.
