Details
It is normal practice for Accounting Officers to scrutinise significant policy proposals or plans of major projects, and then assess whether they measure up to the standards set out in Managing Public Money.
From April 2017, the government committed to make a summary of the key points from these assessments available to Parliament when an Accounting Officer had agreed an assessment of projects within the Government’s Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP).
An Accounting Officer assessment for the BST Programme has been conducted, considering the four standards of regularity, propriety, value for money and feasibility.
