Conclusion (the committee's words)
The implementation of the Business Appointment Rules would appear to be more complex than it should be. If an official is seeking to leave the Civil Service, it should be clear and obvious to them and to their Permanent Secretary whether an application to ACOBA is required. If there is any doubt, an application to ACOBA should be the default position. If this impacts on ACOBA’s limited resources, then these should be increased to reflect the extra workload. This is in area the Committee intends to consider in more detail.
