The variance of the Lyapunov exponent is calculated exactly in the one-dimensional Anderson model with random site energies distributed according to the Cauchy distribution. We derive an exact analytical criterion for the validity of the single parameter scaling in this model. According to this criterion, states with energies from the conduction band of the underlying non-random system satisfy single parameter scaling when disorder is small enough. At the same time, single parameter scaling is not valid for states close to band boundaries and those outside of the original spectrum even in the case of small disorder. The obtained results are applied to the Kronig-Penney model with the potential in the form of periodically positioned $\delta$-functions with random strengths. We show that an increase in the disorder can restore single parameter scalingbehavior for states from band-gaps of this model.
