The SSSC is committed to the Confederation of British Industry Prompt Payment Code for the payment of bills for goods and services we receive. It is our policy to make payments in accordance with the Scottish Government’s instructions on prompt payment and a target payment within 10 days.
National Fraud Initiative (NFI)
We participate in the NFI under powers introduced by the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 and incorporated in Part 2A of the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000. The information we provide can be found here.
The exercise uses computerised techniques to compare electronic data held within and transferred between public and private sector, to identify the existence of possible fraud or error.
Our overarching Date Protection Policy also provides details of your rights in relation to data processing, including the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner. If you have any queries about Data Protection in the SSSC, please contact our data protection officer via informationgovernance@sssc.uk.com.
