Financial management

The Crofting Commission is committed to being transparent about its finances. This is in line with the Public Services Reform (Scotland) 2010 Act and the Scottish Government's commitment to public openness.

Financial transparency

We regularly publish a breakdown of our spending in several key areas:

• Public relations
• Overseas travel
• Hospitality and entertainment
• External consultancy

Other financial information

• Annual Accounts: Our full financial report for the year is available in our Annual Report.
• Purchasing cards: To be more transparent, we publish all transactions of £500 or more made with electronic purchasing cards monthly.
• Framework document: This document, created with the Scottish Government, explains how the Commission operates and defines the financial relationship and responsibilities between the two bodies.
