Humza Yousaf has denied the SNP faces bankruptcy as he confirmed forensic auditors could be appointed following a meeting of the party's ruling body.
Speaking to reporters shortly after the SNP's National Executive Council (NEC) met, the First Minister said the body agreed to hold a governance and transparency review.
The review comes as police investigate the party's finances in a probe which has involved former chief executive Peter Murrell being arrested then released without charge.
