Chief Constable Sir Andy Marsh, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the College of Policing, said:
We are pleased the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of the National Audit Office acknowledged the improvements the College has made this year.
The auditor stated that: ‘for 2024 to 2025, the College has successfully produced a set of auditable financial statements which is a significant achievement from a difficult starting position’. This progress represents a crucial step in the College's financial recovery and is a notable achievement given our challenging starting point.
In 2023, we encountered major challenges with our accounts caused by the introduction of a new finance and HR system. The auditor’s disclaimer on the 2024 to 2025 accounts relates solely to these previous financial problems, which have now been addressed.
We have introduced stringent new procedures to stabilise our financial processes, and made further progress by enhancing the College’s financial controls, including building greater resilience and expertise at board, executive, and operational levels.”
