摘要:Scope of responsibility
As Accounting Officer, I have responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal control that
supports the achievement of Seafish policies, aims and objectives, whilst safeguarding the public funds
and Seafish assets for which I am personally responsible, in accordance with the responsibilities
assigned to me by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
The purpose of the system of internal control
The system of internal control is designed to manage risk to a reasonable level rather than to eliminate
all risk of failure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it can therefore only provide reasonable and
not absolute assurance of effectiveness. The system of internal control is based on an ongoing process
designed to identify and prioritise the risks to the achievement of Seafish policies, aims and objectives,
to evaluate the likelihood of those risks being realised and the impact should they be realised, and to
manage them efficiently, effectively and economically. The system of internal control has been in place
in Seafish for the year ended 31 March 2007 and up to the date of approval of the annual report and
accounts, and accords with Treasury guidance.
