The Black Country LEP currently follows an assurance framework which guides local decision making to support accountability, transparency and value for money. Our framework follows national guidelines, practices and standards.
The framework document covers Local Growth Fund funding flowing through the Black Country LEP, and ensures we have robust value for money processes in place.
The Assurance Statement provides a brief formal account on the status of governance for the Black Country LEP and the outcome of the 2018 Annual Conversation between the Black Country LEP and the Government. To download a copy of Annex B Section 151 Assurance Statement, click here. To download a copy of Annex C, the 2020 Governance Assurance Statement please click here.
