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)” (PDF – 251KB), 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.org.uk.
