Helping the Island spend wisely
The Comptroller & Auditor General,
Chris Swinson, OBE
examines how public bodies spend money, and looks at how best they
can achieve value for money, by managing their finances to the highest
standards.
The Office was established
by the States of Jersey, under the Public Finances (Jersey) Law
2005 but the Office remains independent of Government.
As well as focussing
on value for money, organisational accountability and importance
of service performance, through the work of the Office Chris Swinson
aims to promote greater understanding between both the general public
and public bodies themselves, of what is expected in terms of ‘services’
to the public.
In each of the Reports
published he makes recommendations to bring about improvement, where
improvement is needed, in those bodies or functions examined, in
respect of:
- internal financial controls
- economical, effective and efficient
use of resources, and
- corporate governance arrangements.
