B. Supporting information
Background
1. As part of an Internal Audit Directorate review, a number of recommendations were considered by the Remuneration Sub-committee in relation to the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner. The review found there was adequate justification in the provision and use of an MPS corporate card for official entertainment. However, it 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 MPS pay and benefits manual. 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. This is the third report on the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner’s expenses. I am able to report that, having consulted the Director of Resources I am able to confirm the systems in place for claiming expenses are operating effectively and adhere with the arrangements set out in the pay and allowances manual.
