MSPs were furious as they quizzed officials from WICS and the Scottish Government, saying the extravagant spending at the agency was 'unbelievable'.
The former boss of Scotland's water industry regulator claimed a £400 high-end restaurant meal on an office credit card, with the expense being paid despite failing to provide a receipt, MSPs have heard.
In December, WICS chief executive officer Alan Sutherland resigned hours after Audit Scotland published a report disclosing "unacceptable" spending. At Holyrood's Public Audit Committee, MSP Graham Simpson raised the £402.41 meal at the Champany restaurant in Linlithgow, West Lothian, where Mr Sutherland was dining with an official from the New Zealand government in October 2022.
Addressing MSPs at the start of the meeting, Mr MacRae said there had been a "change of culture and focus on value for money" since the Audit Scotland report. While an exact figure for this was not provided, in 2021 the commission said the chief executive officer's annual salary was more than £165,000.
