Governance

We have a governance structure that ensures our investment decisions are transparent and accountable.

Governance 2024

As at November 2024

Our governance principles

In our drive to increase local economic growth and private sector investment, we have a responsibility to be open and transparent about how public funds are spent.

Hertfordshire Futures follows an Assurance Framework that is aligned to Hertfordshire County Council's Governance Framework and Government's 2021 National Assurance Framework. This ensures robust systems and processes are in place to effectively manage our funding arrangements.

Our Assurance Framework

Our Assurance Framework is reviewed and updated on an annual basis and signed off by Hertfordshire County Council's Section 151 Officer and the Hertfordshire Futures Board. It sets out:

  • Our governance arrangements

  • How our boards are recruited and how they operate

  • How funding decisions are made and assessed for value for money

  • Our commitments to transparency of decision making

  • The Schemes of Delegation for our decision making
