Publication scheme
Each government department and agency has a publication scheme, making information available to the public about how it operates and how it spends its budget.
This publication scheme specifies the categories of information that GIAA proactively and regularly publishes and explains how to get that information.
You can find specific documents for GIAA using the publication search
If the information you want is not routinely published, you can make a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

Requesting information
If you cannot find what you want through this scheme, or otherwise on GOV.UK, please make a request or contact us at correspondence@giaa.gov.uk.
Be specific about the information you want, as this will help us to find it for you.
Before contacting us please consider the following:
- Our role is to provide services to the Accounting Officers of Central Government Departments and their ALBs, rather than dealing directly with issues raised by individual members of the public. Please raise any concerns about Department’s processes or people directly to them using the appropriate contact details on their website.
- We do not provide any services to the devolved bodies in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- We do not provide services to local authorities or councils.
- On leaving office, Ministers must seek advice from the independent Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACoBA) about any appointments or employment they wish to take up within two years of leaving office.
Any ACOBA advice letters relevant to GIAA will be published on ACOBA’s website
Please note that we are unable to respond as quickly to letters sent in the post due to our remote working patterns.
