Governance

As a public body, the Scottish Police Authority is committed to the highest standards of openness and transparency in the way it conducts business, takes decisions and spends public money.

The Corporate Governance Framework of the Scottish Police Authority, including the financial regulations, provides a clear description of how the Authority works, in line with best practice, to be an effective, accessible and accountable national public body. This framework is regularly reviewed to ensure it accurately reflects the Authority’s operations.

The most recent amendments were approved at the Authority meeting on 25 August 2022, updating Financial Regulations and their integration into the overall Governance Framework of the Authority.
