Further detail

In Q2 2023/24 110 corporate strategy milestones were due to be achieved; 79 of these milestones were achieved (72%).

During Q2 there was an exercise completed to determine the deliverability of some of the milestones given known and anticipated resource challenges. Appendix A provides full details of all milestones delayed or re-phased within the quarter.

Since the last report to ARAC there has been no new audit recommendations identified for SPA Corporate.

In April 2023 HMICS published their Assurance Review of the Scottish Police Authority Forensic Toxicology Provision. There are a total of twenty five recommendations arising from this review. The majority are to be jointly actioned by various parties. Eight recommendations include actions for SPA corporate to address.

Action plans to address the recommendations have been developed in collaboration with Police Scotland and Forensic Services and have been approved by HMICS.
