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".
