Proposed delegation re Anti-Fraud and Corruption Policies

Meeting: 13/05/2019 - Governance Committee (Item 6)

Proposed delegation re Anti-Fraud and Corruption Policies

Following the review of the Constitution in summer 2018, the Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Policies were moved outside the Constitution.  Responsibility for the monitoring of and making changes to the policies is part of the terms of reference of the Regulation, Audit and Accounts Committee.  An explicit delegation is recommended to the Director of Finance, Performance and Procurement for the operation and enforcement of the policies, as well as making non-material/minor changes to them.  The Committee is asked to agree the proposed delegation below for inclusion in the Scheme of Delegation:

 

 

Section/No.

Function

Officer

Form of shared delegation

 

2A

 

 

Anti-Fraud and Corruption

 

 

140A

Operation and enforcement of the Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Polices and the resources and systems to ensure prevention of fraud and the investigation of allegations of fraud.  Making non-material/minor changes to the policies.

Minutes:

6.1     The Committee was reminded that, following the review of the Constitution in summer 2018, the Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Policies had been moved outside the Constitution.  Responsibility for the monitoring of and making changes to the policies was part of the terms of reference of the Regulation, Audit and Accounts Committee.  As a consequence of the changes, an explicit delegation is now recommended to the Director of Finance, Performance and Procurement (now the Director of Finance and Support Services) for the operation and enforcement of the policies, as well as making non-material/minor changes to them.  The Committee was asked to agree the proposed delegation below for inclusion in the Scheme of Delegation:
