Governance

The OBR’s Oversight Board is responsible for establishing and taking forward the strategic aims of the OBR and for ensuring that we have effective governance arrangements in place, providing assurance on our internal risk management and controls. It consists of the three members of the BRC and our two Non-executive members – Lord Burns and Kate Barker. Consistent with best practice in corporate governance, the Oversight Board is chaired by one of the Non-executive members, currently Lord Burns. The Board has an Audit sub-Committee which is currently chaired by Kate Barker.

On this page you can find the Oversight Board Terms of reference and minutes of meetings, as well as our 2011-2014 Corporate and business plan.

The OBR will also publish a full and transparent Annual report each summer, which will include a summary of our work over the previous year, plans for the next year, details of our budget and an assessment of the OBR’s performance from our Non-executive members. Our first Annual report will be published in summer 2012.
