Internal Resources Committee
Chair: Solomon Islands
-
The CTI-CFF Regional Secretariat was formally established in April 2015 following a set of proposed Operational Plan and Budget approved by the Committee of Senior Officials in Special SOM 2014. The proposed Operational Plan and Budget for 2015 through to 2017 was prepared and deliberated in the Coordination Mechanism Working Group (CMWG) responsible for the planning of the establishment of a permanent Regional Secretariat. The roles of internal financial management are then taken over by the Regional Secretariat in 2015 and was the responsibility of the Executive Director who reports to the Chair of Council of Senior Officers (CTI CSO). However, it was found that there is a need for an oversight committee to review the internal financial management process and mechanism and therefore this Internal Resource Committee (IRC) is established independent of the Financial Resources Working Group (FRWG) which focuses on sourcing external funding for CTI programs.
Role and Functions
The primary role of the Internal Resource Committee (IRC) is to provide an independent review of the internal resources of the Regional Secretariat and to recommend to the CTI Council of Senior Officers (CTI CSO) the following:
- Annual Budget;
- Internal Audit & Acceptance of Annual Audit Report; and
- Policy Directions pertaining to financial and asset management.
