The SNP is “working very hard” to get new auditors in place, party leader and Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said – as he revealed the accountancy firm that had been doing the job had resigned “round about October” of last year.
It emerged last week that accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael was no longer handling the SNP accounts – with this coming just days after former party chief executive Peter Murrell was arrested and questioned by police probing the party’s finances.
