Support to Boards
Successful Boards improve their organisation’s
performance. How Boards use financial management information is
critical to delivering value for money from public funds. In our
reports to Parliament we often point out how good financial
information available to key decision makers at the right time has
a beneficial effect on organisational performance.
Compliance checklist
March 2012
Our compliance checklist should help Departments and other
bodies to assess where they have complied with and adhered to
"Corporate Governance in Central Government Departments: Code
of Good Practice 2011 (the Code)", and to identify areas of
non-compliance that need to be explained and described in their
annual governance statement.
Whilst this checklist's primary focus is compliance, it also
provides a framework which Boards can use as a starting point for
an assessment of their performance. If you have any queries about
this checklist, please email: Z5-FMGP@nao.gsi.gov.uk.
Board evaluation questionnaire
September 2009
Public sector Boards must conduct an annual
performance appraisal and Board members may find it helpful to
complete this questionnaire as part of the process. We can help
Boards by facilitating a workshop to assess performance in this
area. To obtain further information please email Z5-FMGP@nao.gsi.gov.uk.
If your organisation is interested in
comparing its performance with others, they can contact craig.scarr@mazars.co.uk for
details of Mazars’ benchmarking service.
