Published November 2013
Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
ACoBA should publish their assessment of overall compliance with the Rules by Departments (and other bodies) in their Annual Report. Certification of compliance with the Business Appointment Rules would necessarily form part of the annual certification of the adequacy of ethical standards by accounting officers.
