Financial Governance
Financial governance is about the frameworks, regulations, rules and procedures we put in place to safeguard public money and provide assurance. This page on our website provides access to the key documents that set out those arrangements and support effective financial control.
Our governance arrangements are subject to cyclical review. This process includes internal audit and review by our Joint Audit Committee.
