The Revised Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies was circulated to all relevant bodies by my Department last year. State bodies are required to confirm that they comply with the up to date requirements of the Code in their governance practices and procedures and have the agreement of the parent Department with regard to the level of compliance and the measures being implemented.

Appropriate Corporate Governance and reporting arrangements, in compliance with the Code, are in place in all State bodies under the aegis of my Department. These arrangements are overseen by the appropriate Line Divisions of my Department and by senior management at Heads of Sector meetings.
