The LEP’s scheme of delegation outlines the decision-making powers for
the board, sub-committees, the chair and senior executives.
New Anglia LEP operates within the terms of an agreement with
Government called the Local Assurance Framework. This sets out the way
the way the LEP makes decisions.
Suffolk County Council is the LEP’s accountable body. They are legally
accountable for receiving the LEP’s funding, making payments and
ensuring we comply with the Assurance Framework and rules regarding the
use of public sector funding.
A senior finance officer at Suffolk County Council provides advice on
repayment of our Growing Places Fund, has oversight of all Local Growth
Fund and Getting Building Fund decision making and monitoring of
programme spend.
As a limited company, our statutory accounts are subject to an independent
audit, and are published on our website. They are also available from
Companies House and can be found here.
The work of the LEP is also scrutinised by Scrutiny Committees at Norfolk
County Council and Suffolk County Council.
More information on how the LEP is run can be found here.
