Information requested

I am looking for some assistance with your organisation's Spend/Transparency data, available on the following weblink: SQA Expenditure 2015-2016

 

There appears to be no file available for the month of October 2020. Could you advise when the file will be made available to view online? Would it be possible for you to email me a copy of the October 2020 file please and thank you.

Response

SQA responded to a similar request from you in June 2019, on 26 August 2019, on 13 September 2019, on 28 October 2019 and on 15 December 2020. 

As required by section 31 of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 SQA will publish the April 2020 to March 2021 PSRA data on our website along with the Annual Report and Accounts for the same period once the Annual Report and Accounts (including the PSRA data) has been approved by the Scottish Parliament.   The earliest the Annual Report and Accounts will be laid before the Scottish Parliament is November 2021.   Once the Annual Report and Accounts has been approved by the Scottish Parliament SQA will publish the Annual Report and Accounts and the PSRA data for April 2020 to March 2021 on our website.  

The October 2020 figures you are requesting will be included in the Annual Report and Accounts for April 2020 to March 2021.   This report will only be published once it has been approved by the Scottish Parliament in November 2021.
