Corporate Governance Framework
Our corporate governance framework sets out the necessary responsibilities and procedures that guarantee we operate properly.
17 - Delegated authorities
17.1 The Gambling Commission’s (the Commission) delegated authorities are set out in the delegation letter attached to this framework document. This delegation letter may be updated and superseded by later versions which may be issued by the sponsor department in agreement with HM Treasury.
17.2 In line with Managing Public Money (MPM) Annex 2.2 these delegations must be reviewed on an annual basis.
17.3 The Commission shall obtain the department’s, and where appropriate, HM Treasury’s prior written approval before:
- entering into any undertaking to incur any expenditure that falls outside the delegations or which is not provided for in the Commission’s annual budget as approved by the department
- incurring expenditure for any purpose that is or might be considered novel or contentious, or which has or could have significant future cost implications
- making any significant change in the scale of operation or funding of any initiative or particular scheme previously approved by the department
- making any change of policy or practice which has wider financial implications that might prove repercussive or which might significantly affect the future level of resources required
- carrying out policies that go against the principles, rules, guidance and advice in MPM.
