Trust publishes National Audit Office supplementary note to report on severance payments for ±«Óătv senior managers
The ±«Óătv Trust has published a supplementary note from the National Audit Office (NAO) to the NAO’s report on severance payments for ±«Óătv senior managers.
The original report, published on 1 July 2013, examined a sample of 60 of the 150 severance payments given to ±«Óătv senior managers in the three years to December 2012. In response to a request from the ±«Óătv Trust and the Public Accounts Committee after this report was published, the NAO agreed to examine the remaining 90 payments and one additional case that has come to light, and provide a supplementary note on its findings.
The supplementary note, together with a cover letter from ±«Óătv Trustee Anthony Fry to the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee Margaret Hodge can be found below.

In its response to the initial NAO severance report, the ±«Óătv Trust set out a number of actions to ensure there could be no repeat of fundamental failures of central oversight and control. These included requiring ±«Óătv management to report publicly in the ±«Óătv’s Annual Report and Accounts on any exceptions to policy and the justification for them.
The original NAO report on ±«Óătv severance pay can be found here.Ěý
