Performance Information
Performance Information
The Accounts Commission has a statutory responsibility to specify information that councils must publish about their performance, in the form of statutory performance indicators (SPIs). The information is collected and published locally by each council after being checked by its auditor. The Commission then publishes information about the comparative performance of councils across Scotland in:
- a compendium of all the data
- a set of council profiles
The Compendium contains information provided by councils and enables you to use all the reported data as you wish.
The Profiles provide specific information using measures drawn from the SPIs and a wide range of other published information. They also compare the performance of councils over time and across a range of services.
