Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 24 August 2023
Date : 24 August 2023
Location : COSLA, Edinburgh
Background
The Police Scotland Scheme of Financial Delegation (PS SFD) follows the SPA financial regulations, corporate governance framework and SPA scheme of financial delegation. The PS SFD is compliant with, and follows the guidance from, the Scottish Public Finance Manual (SPFM).
Additionally, PS SFD governs the internal Police Scotland (PS) financial delegation by setting the internal PS financial thresholds and approval routes in respect of financial matters.
We regularly review the SFD. This review was done in consultation with key Police Scotland staff members and SPA Finance colleagues, to ensure changes were proportionate and facilitated the efficient running of the day-to-day operations.
