Background
1. As part of an Internal Audit Directorate review, a number of recommendations were considered by the Authority in relation to the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner. The review recommended that all claims for payment and reimbursement of personal expenses incurred in the execution of official duties should be submitted to the Chief Executive for countersignature and onward transmission for payments.
2. The claiming of expenses is covered by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) pay and benefits policy. This states that expenses should be paid to reimburse staff the actual costs that have been incurred by personal circumstances in the course of, or because of, official business.
3. I am able to report that the systems in place for claiming expenses are operating effectively and adhere with the arrangements set out in the pay and allowances manual. In doing so, I had the benefit of confirmation from the Director of Resources that the claims were in line with MPS policy.
