  • Start with the Overview (1) sheet [the mandatory cells must be completed otherwise the rest of the Pack will not be available for data input. Ensure macros are enabled otherwise the body's name cannot be selected from the drop down box, which populates the carry-forward balances.]
  • Prior Year Restatement sheet (3A) then (3B) [if this has #N/As, then you have not properly selected your name from the drop down list on the Overview sheet (requires macros to be enabled)]

    Please read this extract of the main guidance on the prior year restatement sheets.

  • Liabilities & Provisions (10) sheet

  • First table in the Financial Instruments Main (15) sheet
  • Go back to the I&E NCS (4) sheet & work through sequentially
  • Last: review the Validations (2) sheet, resolve errors and provide explanations for 'fails' until cell E20 shows as zero. Please read this extract of the main guidance on validation and submission of the pack
  • Remember to click the 'Lock Pack' button to validate before submitting

Completed unaudited L Packs should be emailed to WGAMailbox@scotland.gsi.gov.uk . The pack will be loaded into COINS by the Scottish Government and the pack will then be emailed to auditors (copied to the authority) for the audit of the pack to be undertaken.
