Reflections from Independent Member of the Public Accounts Committee

Really interesting at Public Accounts Committee today. Talking about our role and forthcoming public hearings with Director General re Property Holdings 22 Oct and States CEO re Public Sector Reform 19 Nov. Also look forward to C&AG Report on Remuneration of States Owned Companies and to hear from States CEO on response to previous C&AG Reports.

It’s interesting to what extent the meeting is like a chat show host, allowing officers to say their key messages or to what extent it is an interview to test facts, figures and progress of the implementation.

16 October: Meeting with Treasurer re EY Transformation of SoJ Finance

Will be interested to see EY Transformation of SoJ Finance and the milestones for changes in people, process and technology and how this all fits together within the orchestrated plans for Target Operation Model and Change Programme. What will be the KPIs and measured benefits for each of these initiatives which the public will see over the next 12 months.

22 October: Meeting with Jersey Property Holdings

This will be a very interesting meeting given the C&AG Report [“Resolute action and consistent buy-in required to secure improvements in property management” says C&AG as latest report is issued (21st June 2018)] and also the news on Bailiwick Express: The Director of Jersey Property Holdings is stepping down amid criticism over management of the government’s £1billion property portfolio

19 November: Meeting with Charlie Parker

I know the States’ Chief Executive is keen on transparency and accountability and I am sure a public hearing will provide a good opportunity for Officer’s to show their talent and outline their achievements to us and the public, especially given his commitments in this video.
