The government's response

Summary written by Accountability Index from the government's response. It is not the government's own words.

The Department for International Development (DFID) "partially accepts" the Committee's recommendations on the independence of the tailored review of ICAI.

  • On the Challenge Panel, the response says one "has been established to oversee the review", as the Committee recommended.
  • A Non-Executive Director "will Chair the Panel", with support from the National Audit Office and a member of the DFID Board.
  • On a lead reviewer from another department, the response states the review "will be led by a member of DFID staff", reporting directly to the Challenge Panel, in accordance with Cabinet Office guidance.
  • The government says it expects the Committee "to contribute fully to the tailored review".
