Recommendation 18
18
RFCA governance and oversight require significant reform to support Strategic Defence Review ambitions.
Recommendation
The Department said it is now at an ‘inflection point’ where the governance and oversight of the RFCAs needs to be fit for purpose to support the ambitions in the SDR. In part, the Department intends to achieve this through its desired creation of an NDPB. It explained that other elements involved embedding good governance and oversight and making sure that the current information flow and the relationships between the Department and the Council were in the right place.27
