Hampshire Police Authority's Financial Regulations

Financial regulations form part of the corporate governance framework. They clarify the financial responsibilities of Police Authority members and employees. Where there are specific statutory powers and duties, the financial regulations seek to ensure these are duly complied with, as well as setting best professional practices and processes within which the financial affairs of the Authority operate.

The purpose of these Regulations are to ensure that the financial dealings of Hampshire Police Authority (the ‘Authority’) and Hampshire Constabulary (the ‘Force’) are conducted properly and meet the requirements of best practice to allow the Treasurer to the Police Authority (the ‘Treasurer’) to discharge his or her statutory obligations and encourage delegation of responsibility for financial matters to the lowest level, whilst maintaining adequate control.
