Monitoring Arrangements and Interactions. Criminal Justice Governance will hold at least two formal governance meetings with the IPIU per annum (and more if deemed necessary). The meetings will consider, as required and inter alia: ⮚ Delivery of the IPIU’s strategic plan and annual business plan; ⮚ Compliance with the IPIU’s statutory and corporate obligations; ⮚ Financial management and budgetary matters; ⮚ Human resource issues including staffing, training and industrial relations; ⮚ Data protection and governance; ⮚ ICT and cybersecurity; ⮚ Risk management and other internal controls; ⮚ Any matter relating to the IPIU that might have been the subject of, or might give rise to, public commentary or scrutiny; ⮚ Any matter that might adversely affect the reputation of the IPIU or, by extension, the Department; ⮚ Any other matter comprehended in, or arising from, this Agreement. The IPIU will also provide quarterly reports on various standing items as agreed with CJP&C. Outside of the aforementioned governance meetings and quarterly reports there will continue to be regular, less formal interaction between Criminal Justice Governance and the IPIU in line with their respective business needs and commitments. In this context, informal and unscheduled contact forms an integral part of the governance relationship. More generally, the relationship between IPIU and Criminal Justice Governance will be underpinned by a ‘no surprises’ principle, with both parties undertaking to inform and/or consult each other in a timely manner on relevant issues.
