Recommendation
It is important that an independent assessment takes place of whether the Transformation Programme achieves its intended outcomes. Therefore, we recommend that two years after completion of the Programme the NAO undertake a review of the structure, performance and value for money of the ECJU to ensure it is fit-for-purpose. (Paragraph 42) New Strategic Export Licensing Criteria
Government Response Summary
The government's response details ongoing internal scrutiny by the Government Internal Audit Agency but does not commit to the recommended independent review by the National Audit Office two years after the programme's completion.
Government Response Not Addressed
HM Government Not Addressed
In designing the Transformation Programme, ECJU has taken advantage of the findings of a number of independent and external reviews. Throughout the Transformation Programme its processes and outcomes have been scrutinised and challenged by the Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA). ECJU will continue to benefit from this support and challenge as the GIAA will continue to work with ECJU on the development of LITE and will also continue to provide embedded assurance on our project to deliver the benefits of the Transformation Programme and other continuous improvement projects.
