National overview

The graph below shows the total savings found across all central government bodies.

Outcomes recorded under Audit Scotland are those identified centrally by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for Scottish benefit recipients and where the DWP has not allocated these to a specific local authority.

Exploration Table

This table shows an overview of all the NFI outcomes across each central government body. The totals shown describe the number of cases, the ‘actual overpayments’ found, the total ‘estimated savings’, and the ‘total savings’ (made up of the actual overpayments, added to estimated savings).

The following table shows the number of cases detected in each central government body, across the various areas.

To make the table easier to read, areas where no cases were found across any central government body are not shown.
