The Financial Regulations are the public commitment of how we regulate and manage the financial arrangements and transactions of the organisation.

The Financial Instructions are the internal financial arrangements under which we run the organisation. Both the regulations and the instructions must meet the requirements of the Framework Agreement agreed with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC), Managing Public Money and standard accounting practices and must comply with current tax regulations.

The organisation’s other key corporate policies are published in the Annual Report and Accounts.

The Chief Executive Officer is appointed as the Accounting Officer (AO).
