Publication: Local Economic Forums: a baseline performance statement

This report establishes the position inherited by Local Economic Forums (LEFs) and will be used as a benchmark to measure their progress in streamlining the way public sector bodies provide support services to businesses. This preliminary report outlines the problems that currently exist and how the LEFs propose to tackle them. In a follow up report, Audit Scotland will look in more detail at the economic development services provided to businesses in Scotland by councils and local enterprise companies, as well as the role of LEFs.
