Minutes:
The Committee had before it the report by Alex Stephen on the Review of Financial Governance Arrangements. The Committee were provided with an overview summary of the report and heard that this was a living document subject to regular update including consideration of risk.
It was heard that all relevant managers and their teams had received training on their responsibilities from their host organisations and which featured in their continued training, Performance objectives and quarterly reviews. The culture of financial spending was discussed together with the lack of direct management responsibility by the Chief Finance Officer (CFO) of relevant staff.
Assurance was provided that the CFO was satisfied that the appropriate recognition of the Office and good working relationships mitigated those risks.
