The Northern Ireland Policing Board Section 9: Performance summaries: supplementary
22.This section makes consequential amendments to sections 29 and 31 of the 2000 Act, relating to audit and reporting arrangements, and arising from the amendments set out in section 8. The effect of the amendments is that the arrangements that currently apply to the audit of a performance summary comprised in a performance plan, and to any report on a performance summary, will continue to apply to a performance summary even though it will not necessarily be published with a performance plan. Subsection (9) provides that the new arrangements will have effect from the financial year 2003/04.
