This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important that the NIAO should make a significant contribution to reducing its own expenditure in the current financial climate. it was the Committee's view that this was important not only in terms of reducing costs to the public purse, but also in terms of demonstrating that the NIAO was willing and ready to bear its fair share of the savings that need to be made. However it was just as important to ensure that the NIAO has the resources necessary in order to effectively carry out its role. In fact, The role of the NIAO is now even more important. The Committee considered carefully the proposed savings that the C&AG had outlined. The Committee also gave consideration to the overall reduction to the Northern Ireland Executive's Departmental Expenditure Limit and to the planned reductions to the budgets of other audit bodies in the UK. Having considered all of this, The Audit Committee agreed that it would expect to see the NIAO reduce its budget requirement by at least 10% in cash terms by 2014/15. The C&AG then prepared a draft corporate plan for the period 2011-12 to 2013-14 and presented this plan to the Audit Committee at its meeting on 1 February 2011. The Committee was satisfied with the draft plan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report to the Northern Ireland Assembly summarises the results of the financial audit work undertaken on my behalf by the Northern Ireland Audit Office. It deals primarily with the 2010-11 accounts of central government bodies. It does not include the results of my examination of the accounts of those bodies within the health and social care sector as these will be published in a separate General Report. This General Report prompts a timely focus on the qualified opinions and reports issued on departmental resource accounts and other accounts for 2010-11. This will enable the lessons to be applied in time for the next financial year of accounts and therefore to make a difference. This is when the value of public audit is at its strongest. The standards of financial accounting continue to remain high, demonstrated by the quality and timeliness of financial reporting. However, last year a higher number of accounts than usual received qualifications. This pattern has continued in 2010-11. Matters which prompted these qualifications included failures to obtain proper approval for expenditure and weaknesses in the control of bodies sponsored by departments

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarises the results of the financial audit work undertaken by the Northern Ireland Audit Office. It deals primarily with the 2011-12 accounts of central government Bodies, not including the results of examined accounts of those bodies within the health and social care sector as these will be published in a separate General Report.The prime function of public financial audit is to provide independent assurance, information and advice to the Northern Ireland Assembly on the proper accounting for, and use of, public resources. In addition, the NIAO assists audited bodies to improve their financial management processes, governance and propriety in the conduct of public business through NIAO mainstream financial audit work.This report provides a focus on the qualified opinions and reports issued on departmental resource accounts and other accounts for 2011-12. This will enable the lessons to be applied in time for the next financial year of accounts and therefore to make a difference. The standards of financial accounting continue to remain high, demonstrated by the quality and timeliness of financial reporting. However, in the past two years there has been an increasing failure to comply with instructions from governing authorities, including failure to obtain DFP expenditure approvals.This year a review of how quickly public sector bodies are paying suppliers was undertaken and some bodies are falling far short of the benchmark and improvements are required across a number of sectors.

This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the results of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 financial audits of HSC bodies in Northern Ireland. It notes the following: all health bodies were able to "break even" with regards the budget set for both 2009-10 and 2010-11 with the exception of the Northern Trust which required additional funding for both years and the Belfast Trust which required additional funding for 2009-10; management costs in the health and social care sector in 2010-11 were £125 million which is £17.9 million above the management costs incurred in 2006-07; and that compliance with prompt payment targets continues to present a considerable challenge to health bodies. Key targets have not been achieved for inpatient treatment, outpatient appointments, diagnostic tests or emergency care during 2010-11. At the end of March 2011 over 17,000 patients were waiting more than 13 weeks for inpatient treatment compared to over 3,000 at March 2010; 32,000 patients were waiting longer than the target of nine weeks for a first outpatient appointment; and 12,000 patients were waiting longer than nine weeks for a diagnostic service or more than 13 weeks for a day case endoscopy. The number of patients waiting more than 12 hours in an emergency care department showed an improvement, with 850 waiting in 2010-11 compared to 1,239 twelve months earlier. The target is that no patient should wait for this period of time. The report also draws attention to the report on the Belfast Trust's 2010-11 accounts; the 2010-11 reports on each of the five non-regional trusts; and the reduction in Single Tender Actions across the health and social care sector from £9.8 million in 2006-07 to £5.4 million in 2010-11

Download or read book Devolution in the UK written by Paul Carmichael and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the impact of austerity, Brexit, the Scottish Independence Referendum and the collapse of the Northern Ireland Executive, this book discusses how wider national developments shape and are shaped by the process of devolution in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, assessing its impact on politics, policy and public administration. Drawing together extensive scholarship on devolution, Devolution in the UK compares the similarities and differences between the different devolved nations, and tackles key questions: - Where did devolution come from, and what does its future look like? - What are the most effective devolution systems, and what are their benefits? - Why does Wales have fewer devolved powers than Scotland and Northern Ireland? - What impact will Brexit have? - Why are national identities, symbols, languages, flags and culture so important? Spanning the introduction of devolution in 1988 to the present, this is essential reading if you are studying devolution, one of the country-specific political systems, or interested in UK politics as a whole.

This book was released on 2012-08-18 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the five years since the Ministry of Justice was created, it has made improvements to its structure and performance and is now a more integrated Department. However, the Ministry is still too much in thrall to the prison service: better integrated offender management would enable the Ministry to make the financial savings demanded of it but also provide a more effective service to clients, users and the wider public, and in particular to achieve its key objective to reduce re-offending. The Ministry has been subject to past criticism for poor financial management - missing the Treasury's deadline for the laying of accounts three years running, woeful inefficiency in the administration of legal aid and too much focus on policy at the expense of delivery. Following an in-depth investigation into all aspects of the Department's work, the Committee concluded that the Ministry has got a grip of the situation and is justifying the rationale for its creation. However, the MPs believe the Department could undergo further restructuring to create a single delivery body. Additionally, the current structure of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), which continues to be driven by prison priorities, produces difficulties in reducing re-offending. The Committee also makes a number of further recommendations to improve how the Department functions
