Finance

Find out more about our finances and current contracts.

From April 2011 the Ombudsman has new legal obligations to provide information on certain types of expenditure, and on how he/she has exercised his/her functions. Part 3 of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 sets out details of certain annual statements that the Ombudsman must publish. 

After the end of each financial year (1 April - 31 March), the Ombudsman must publish statements for that year on:

  • expenditure on public relations, overseas travel, hospitality and entertainment, and external consultancy
  • details of any individual payments made that are over £25,000
  • numbers of staff who receive remuneration of over £150,000
