HM Treasury is reviewing its response to the financial crisis. The review is being led by Sharon White, formerly a Director General at the Ministry of Justice and the Department for International Development, and has begun work today.
The Review will examine:
•the Treasury’s capability on financial services ahead of the crisis;
•the pace at which the Treasury built its capability when the crisis hit; and
•whether the capability and senior management arrangements put in place to handle the crisis and the aftermath have been adequate.
The review will inform decisions on organisational arrangements of HM Treasury as part of its Spending Review settlement. It will make recommendations with the aim of:
•ensuring that the Treasury has the capability it needs going forward;
•improving the retention of people with the necessary skills, expertise and experience, having consideration to issues of Treasury culture and values, as well as remuneration; and
•ensuring that the Treasury has robust arrangements for risk management, contingency planning and knowledge management.
This review follows recommendations from the Public Accounts Committee and the National Audit Office.
The final report will be publicly presented to the Treasury’s executive management board no later than Easter 2012.
