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).

National overview by metrics

This section gives a further breakdown of how central government bodies compare across the headline numbers of cases, overpayments, estimated savings, and total savings, by showing how these are split into different areas (for example, pensions or procurement).
