Accountability board
Accountable democratic decision-making
Formal democratic decision-making is through the SELEP Accountability Board which approves all major funding decisions having regard to the Independent Technical Evaluation recommendations. This includes any direct awards of funding from the Government including retained schemes.
The Accountability Board is responsible for the implementation of the Assurance Framework and will agree all processes by which bids are assessed, risks considered, funding approvals made and performance managed.
The Board is advised by the Accountable Body’s Chief Finance Officer and Monitoring Officer.
